This is KC7YFE now clear and signing off of worldwide friendship net control duties and feel free to stick around here and chat. But allow a couple of minutes of silence so that the folks who wish to disconnect any nodes and other connections and reflectors from the server may effectively do so. So everyone take care and we'll catch you guys next time around. Stop in tomorrow and visit with Roy, KV7WA, who will be in the helm for the Friday edition. And 7.3's all, thank you all for being here.

Let us know when your project is done. And I remember when I was in the Navy, my favorite tool which is still, I think my favorite tool but I don't have one, is a differential voltmeter. Those are an amazing tool because you set a target voltage and then you've got the thumb wheels, like let's say 5.25 volts. And then you switch it to the analog mode and you've got an analog meter there that reaches you plus or minus of that target value. So you can dial in the exact value with the meter until it's centered and know what the actual voltage is. But the cool thing here is that you can see the deviation of a lot of circuits. This is for meters, cases, elo, kilo, seven, November, Quebec, November, All-Star, node 62T2, located in Shelton, WA. It's actually a steady voltage or if you've got some unintentional deviations or maybe a deviation that you're looking for.

Um, I'm trying to think really, she's going through a state, a lot of what you do depends on the size, and I think you're supposed to have probate. What I did with my mother is my father's, it's been 16 years since my mother was, you have to have it done in 99 months. But it really depends on the size and what you have to file, whether you have to publish. It's a certain amount of publication for creditors. You have a duty to do that if you're the executor. Anyway, there's books out there, and I'm sure there's other gentlemen coming up who can give you information too. Anyway, it's a grade A I've been out here, Jack. I paid my property taxes a day, I'm moaning. And then I went out and did some more garden work. And that's just, I think I'm done with the outside stuff for the year. Next thing will be after the freeze, cutting the raspberries back to the canes to three or four feet. Let's see, I was supposed to go on a trail crew tomorrow, but I've been reading the, I listened to Noah, and reading where I'll be, there's steady winds 15 to 20 gusts, 30, 35 inches, inch and a half of rain. I don't think that's a safe way to work on a trail crew. Even though they say they work in the rain, I'm going to send an email and decline. I hate to do that. Anyway, that's what's going on here, Jack. Looking forward to Saturday. I'll be there with my grumpier sign, and I don't know where the grumpy sign went, but I think Larry has it somewhere. Anyway.

I gave a tour for a Boeing sponsored group at the museum It was a air traffic controllers from China from mainland China and they're over here remember air traffic worldwide thing everybody uses English and Most of the group did speak English a bit. They had a professional translator Translating what I was doing. It was fascinating It's like a do you win? I'm talking And she's translating into headphones. They're all wearing that needed Simultaneously and it's like wow. I'm so impressed because there's always a buffer. She has to hear things Translate it. It's not word for word. It's the meaning so it was absolutely spectacular what her skills were They took them to the World War two. I had this is probably enough Kilo kilo seven Air force and they're helping to pin China. Well, actually every tourist I've seen from mainland does know that history So people in China are aware what the u.s. Has done to help China in the past Ignoring current politics and all that.

In fact, I think still nine of them if I'm right there, Mike, K1MDR. Also, Mike has got some information relative to Lisa's check-in. So Mike, K1MDR, good afternoon, sir. Hey everybody. First off, Lisa, sorry for your loss, my condolences. But as far as psycho landlord goes, while she can do something, she can't do everything. So long as there is still a lease and the rent is paid, she cannot come in and take any of the property. That is illegal for her to do. That is basically theft. But you have to maintain whatever the rent was. So if it was $500 a month, then whoever's taking care of business needs to make sure that the rent is taken care of until you guys are ready to completely vacate. She does not have to let you access the property until you get the death certificate. And upon that, she has to let you in the property. There's nothing that she can do to stop you. She might try, but legally she can't stop you. Also, do not sign a custody of property thing because that means she can come in and take everything whenever she wants. I think there's something more. Give me a second. I'm already set. Yeah, so if you have the death certificate, you can be granted access to the property. So long as his rent is paid, you can, you know, he can't come in and take anything. Now if you do forfeit on the rent or whatnot, then yes, he has free right to it. But the key out to that is he has to still go through the regular eviction proceedings. It's not like you miss, your rent is due on the 5th, you don't make it there by the 6th, and suddenly he clears everything out. He still can't do that. He still has to go through normal eviction proceedings if there is family left. The only exception to that is no family, which doesn't apply here. So, I hope that helps you. I hope you're still listening. And like I said, my condolences for your loss. And hopefully you can get everything situated on the end. Oh, the other thing is, is he does not have to renew a lease. In fact, more often than not, if he's got like say 6 months left on his lease, you know, you can pay his rent for the next 6 months, but after that, he's allowed to not renew the lease. So there is no expectation of renewal when it comes to the death in a family. Anyway, it's K1MDR. I'm going to return it back to the net, and I'll try to catch you for my report in a little while."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-23T12:20:01+00:00","id":67226,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67225,"text":" Comment Mike yeah, if you do or are able to come back for a report a little bit later in the net yeah I've got a question for you, so no problem hold till then and thank you so much for the additional information there For Lisa there, okay, thanks again appreciate that Mike alright.

And last time I looked at the radar, it was still good for the rest of the afternoon. So everyone get out there, take care of your chores, whatever. Let's see, well, I don't know, I'm still getting some stuff from Teemu. And I still haven't gotten any charges for, you know, customs or any of that stuff yet related to tariffs. And the prices haven't really gone up either, so I don't know how they're doing that. Maybe it's all stuff that got imported before the tariff stick effect. I don't know. But I've got this fancy watch. My kick around watch that I wear daily is just like a Castillo something with a basic stopwatch and alarm and what have you. But I've got a fancy Teesu touch watch which has got a screen. You touch it and it gives you the different functions including of course the stopwatch, but it's also got a barometer, pressure meter, the air pressure meter, compass, let's see, what else has it got? I don't know, all kinds of funky features here, temperature and so forth. But I save that just as a dress watch. I don't know, it's about $350 or something. I've had the battery replaced in it a couple times. It lasts a couple years on the battery, so no complaint on that. But last time I took it in, the battery changed. At a real live watch shop it was like $25. And I thought, okay, well I know they're using a good battery. They use a battery from Switzerland which is supposed to be the best on the market. I've read that several places. But I'm going, ah, it seems like such a simple job. I should be able to do that myself, but I've never had the tools. So on Teemu they've got one of them little three pronged adjustable rear watch case remover things that I'm ordering and that will let me do my own battery replacement and save some bucks because I expect I'll keep this watch for quite some time. And who knows, maybe I'll know someone else that needs a battery replaced and otherwise it's kind of awkward to get those off on some watches. Well what else is going on with me? Not much.

I haven't been to Gasworks Park. It's probably 2023 and I do know that they they they do have some outlets there but all outlets and all parts have been pretty much decommissioned because the Misuse people using them at night to charge and run different things but that's something we could talk about off the air and Otherwise not nope here in Newport. We have a sunny day, but this week Sometime maybe any night Sunday night Monday night The snow level is supposed to get down to 2,400 feet. Well, we're at 2460 here so a possibility of the white stuff coming down. That's a very good possibility and oh, we got the welder running at Grossi the welder works great and Put that new capacitor in there and the thing works like a champ So that project is down and put away and on to other things. So with that not much more Oh, I will be checking in on the rain or shine net.

My wife was a chef and that was one of her, I don't want to call it a pet peeve, but she was always saying when we go out to eat, we would get something and she said, well, it could be a little better. The balance is not right. And what she would say is that you should not be able to identify the spices in any dish, not specifically. So it should be that well balanced. Anyway, yeah. Okay Jack, what else I've been doing? Well you probably heard on the 9 o'clock net, I'm working on this old Heathkit vacuum tube volt meter and yeah, got the caps replaced. I am now installing a diode instead of the old selenium rectifier because those things are dangerous. And so anyway, but I took a break. I went outside and did some chipping, yeah, got the machine out, did some chipping.

I think she's got a little bit of a, I don't know, maybe a cold starting or something. Again, a little bit of sniffles and everything else. But anyway Jack, great to hear you, sir, and everybody else on the new net. This is GM0UUB, it's Graham here along with MM7, Helen Queen of Scotland, and of course Puppy Oden. And Jack, I think I mentioned to you that we were going last night to the breeder's husband, who's a really good trainer of dogs and he does all the kind of various professional dogs etc etc. So yeah this reset button, you're wondering what the reset is. Basically, well it's very very simple, it's forget everything you've done in the last few months and start again. Really? He says yup. And he was quite impressed by what our puppy Oden could do, like heal and everything else. But he says all those things are just gimmicks, you need to have the basics absolutely perfect. And then you can add funny things and fancy things and make them dance and roll and this and that. But you need to have the very basics absolutely perfect and spot on. You're using the wrong lead, you're giving them treats as a food, as rewards instead of a ball. And basically he just kind of reset our thinking about training the basics in the puppies. So he said look, he's five and a half months old, he's had his puppy time, he's had a great play and everything else, he's spoiled him rotten and he's learned some good stuff but now you have to be pretty much a little bit more strict and yeah get him focused and he'll be looking to you forever more as the master and everything else. So I thought okay that's fine but not overly tough but basically just kind of stop all the kind of puppy training we've been going to for the last few weeks and start again with something a little bit different. He had some great techniques and I was very impressed. Anyway back to you Jeff, GM Zero, UUB."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-23T13:03:33+00:00","id":67294,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67293,"text":" Yes, he charged us his hourly wage and gave us two hours. So that was great. Like I say, his wife was the breeder and the father, the sire of puppy Odin, was actually his own personal dog. It's one of his champion dogs. And he did actually enjoy spending some time with Odin. I think it probably reminded him of his, well one of his own dogs when he was training him as a pup. So we had a bit of fun as well. Anyway, like I say, he charged us his hourly wage and gave us two hours. And it's just a one-off thing. We can go back in a month or two months to have a wee refresher, but it's not one of those long courses. We're already on. And I'm just kind of thinking maybe we won't even finish it. We still have two weeks to go. But the style of training is completely different. And already, even today, Odin's actually more calm, settled, and just doing some of the techniques he gave us last night. So yeah, honestly, it was kind of mind-changing. There we go. Back to net.

Yeah, I should have jumped in sooner, but I was outside checking out some stuff on the trailer. And I got to thinking I should actually get on the net and say hello to Jack.

But I found it totally amusing. And as far as the second one there, here's the, what is that, the blood draw. Boy, I guess that one twisted it totally opposite. But it amazes me the stuff you come up with. And well, I'm just trying to figure out some wire sizing for the trailer because we have one of these small, 12 volt electric coolers that has a compressor in it. And it likes to draw about, I don't know, 4 amps, 4 and a half amps. But if it gets below a certain voltage, which is a switch you can select that lowest voltage, it'll cut out. And I think we got it at the lowest, but it's like 10 point something volts. And which means it's probably dropping quite a bit of voltage through the line there too. It's a short little trailer, but even still a lot of wire wraps up in there. So maybe go to a bigger gauge and try to make it so it lasts a little bit longer. Anyway, you have a great day Jack.

So when you were transmitting onto the screen capture of your signal coming in, and you were nearly full scale on the main receiver up at Capitol Hill, and your out pull was 253 out of 255 maximum value. You were full scale on Lake Forest Park receiver, Cougar Mountain, you were 250 out of 255. 144 and 176 on Buck Mountain in Magnolia in Seattle. So and Beacon Hill, 24 out of 255. So great job.

Yeah, I'm just sitting here with five watts on a little radio. I've got a stick that's, I don't know, maybe I got it 25 feet up. So, yeah, I'm glad to hear that I'm getting out. Lake Forest Park doesn't surprise me, but the others are a bit of a surprise with this little radio in my hand. Anyway, so yeah, I will go check those things out and blow the ink dry on my ticket.

Oh yeah, Texas, Florida. Near Dade City, Florida. This is a directed net. The purpose of this net is to provide a forum for all MS Radio operators who share an interest in recreational vehicles to exchange information and stay in touch as they travel the country. This net feeds each Thursday evening at 8 p.m. Central Time on the Southeast Link Conference node and it's linked to the N4LMC multi-mode network which includes a W4EDP repeater in Lookout Mountain, Georgia and there's several others tied to it in the tri-states area. We thank him at Purdue and the tri-state parameter radio club for supporting our net with the use of that equipment. For additional information about the RV Radio Network, please visit our secure website at rvradiodetwork.com and please for information about the Tri-State parameter Radio Club, please visit their website at tri-statesarc.com. Like I said, there's repeaters tied to the network so we have to be cognizant of the timers on those repeaters. They will time out after three minutes and drop connections so let's keep our transmissions to less than three minutes. If you're using the Windows Echo Link application, there's a timer up under your setup menu that you can set to transit for I'd say 170 seconds and that way it will drop you 10 seconds ahead of the time out period so you'll keep you from dropping the repeaters.

There's a link near the top of our web page for that. You'll see our listing of nets right there close to the top edge of the page. We just had a rally that's over with now down in Texas. And we've got some things coming up that we'll be participating in. We've got the courts test, we've got a group of hams going over there from the club. That'll be on January 18th through 24th. And Alan and JJ are coordinating that. That's AC0OF. And JJ is WR5E. You can look them up on their roster. I don't have their email address in front of me. But get a hold of them. There are call signs and names on the page there. January 18th through 24th, Courtside, Arizona. Same thing for the rally in Orlando. We do every year as far as I know. I think there's going to be a gathering there of people.

There's no information out on it yet except that it's going to be in October in Milton, Florida. That's all on our website. All right.

So I guess it's just the three of us right now. WW7N was there. Oh, there he's back again. WW7N, Jim is on the list now. Let me put him down here. We, the topic I came up with, I didn't come up with it actually. Somebody suggested it. And I'm looking for more suggestions, guys. But what I came up with, it was, among the suggestions was what type of TV antenna do you use or do you use a TV service, streaming service, or you connect to the network channels, websites? How do you watch TV in your RV is what it boils down to. We've done a gamut of things over the years. Our external Batwing TV antenna bit the dust a couple years ago. I've never had it fixed because we weren't using it anymore anyway. The TV shows and all were all online where you could watch them on the network channels. So you could go to the ABC.com and pull up the ones that you liked and watch them. They had them there. Now they've all moved over to the various streaming services. So streaming services you've got to pay for. And then this year, even though I'm paying for them, they didn't have the programs on. They're still not getting them all started. So it's very, very slow to get the season started. And they skipped the summer altogether, it seems like. So what do you think is worth watching, in my opinion? So that's what I'm using. Let's see what Tom's using.

The antenna has worked for us in the past and we were down in San Antonio if we wanted to they had cable service or I could have switched over to cable service but you know the T-Mobile hotspot that my wife Carrie has on her contract works pretty good for us in the trailer and then we use YouTube TV streaming service for most of our stuff so that's how we can do it.

Well, I guess we killed you basically. We have a long time ago got a Verizon card, AirCard, that's to pay a mobile internet connection. There's no phone involved. Prepaid, we got it when you could still get a really unlimited account. The only thing that bothers us is if the cell tower gets too busy, then everybody gets slowed down. But other than that we don't have any problems as long as we got a good reception area. Unfortunately, when we started working up in Michigan, they had terrible reception up there. And they put two brand new AT&T sites, they put a brand new AT&T tower up there not far from the campground, and our phones just wouldn't pick up either with Verizon. So we tried out AT&T and it worked great. So we now have each an AT&T cell phone that has data allowance on it that we can hotspot with it. So then when we're down here at the park in Florida, we've got a cable connection here. So we're pretty set up between the four different accesses. I actually have a device I got a couple of weeks ago that I've been playing with. I can hook all four of them up at once to this device and I can switch between them. And it provides us with a local router that we can all be connected to the same router, all have the same service, but our printer on the same service and some shared data storage on the same router, and everybody can have the access and everything. So that's something new to us that we just added. Okay. What about George? Aidy T.I.H.

This is George and on my RV I got a truck camper. Here's a picture of it on my QRZ.com page. For television specifically I have a Winegard Razor automatic HDTV antenna and it kind of looks like a radome. If you've ever had a boat and had radar on it, it's got this round closed dome. Inside is an antenna and it's automated, it tunes itself, it points toward whatever stations you want. Anyway, it's a Razor automatic HDTV antenna and in today's market at $400 it's actually pretty cheap. It works good and when I'm camping somewhere within a reasonable distance of a city that has TV stations, it automatically points to the TV station and brings in the signals. It has a built in amplifier and it seeks out the signals whether they're north, south, east or west. So that helps. And also I have a cable TV, you know an F-connector, what I call an F-connector, a coaxial connector outside the RV. So if I'm at a campground that has cable service I just hook into that and don't use the antenna. The only other thing I use is a, um, an RV, a weboost, RV uh, cellular signal booster. And I have the antenna on a 20 foot carbon fiber mass.

And if I could get a signal, then I just use the cellular phone to feed my TV or an iPad for entertainment. I don't watch a lot of TV and I don't do much iPad. When I'm camping, I'm usually in the summer, I'm outside doing things. And in the winter, I'm usually busy trying to throw frozen pipes and keep us alive. So anyway, very good topic tonight, Hank.

I know they didn't have dump. I think they had electric. But anyway, we sat there for two or three days. And while we were there, some kind of a parade went by. But the interesting thing was we had terrible cell phone reception there and just couldn't really use the internet off of the air card. But I got a, I think that what I used was one of these long-handled brushes that you wash your RV with. You see a telescope without, and it's probably 10 foot long, something like that. And I strapped my air card onto that and strapped that onto the front of the coach. And as long as the battery was last, I had television. I had internet access.

I don't think either one of us has been turned on for a couple of months at least. Every now and then we'll try to see if the antenna is going to pick anything up or not. I think I got a bad cable connection in the roof. There's supposed to be a connector right behind the antenna that's in the roof underneath the cover, the surface. And I've been told it's notorious for coming loose. And I've got a feeling that's what's wrong with this one. I can get up there sometimes and wiggle the cable around, wiggle the antenna around, and have it start picking up for a while, but then first thing you know it quits again. It's been a long time since I've done that. I don't even get up on the roof anymore. So it's been a long time since I've done that.

The ladies really enjoyed it because Ron's wife Carol had some activities scheduled for them and they had that activity engaged and so they were back and forth between tours. So they, at least they said they enjoyed San Antonio better than two weeks, two years ago down at Fredericksburg. They really did interact a lot more and the ladies had a good time. Somebody brought a satellite tracking antenna with them. So a couple of nights we stayed out late and we were tracking satellites at night and enjoying ourselves so that was some fun at night after everything was shut down for the thing. The entertainment was good, food was good. I helped Ron cook and cooking all the meats outside on the outside porch because between the bacon and the sausage we would have destroyed the community center if we had cooked all that stuff inside. So I cooked it out on the black stone so we could keep all the smoke and grease out there. We had fun, food was good, fun was good. The people went on the tours of the missions, had a good time.

And the expense and the time and is it, I don't know if we would have made it or not, because when we got up in Michigan we had a problem on the road. And we had to wind up in a shop. So we probably would have missed it anyway. But we would have had to change all of our time schedule anyway at the least. So I've been to Texas a few times. There used to be a couple in the club that had a place down in Palacios, Texas, down on the Gulf Coast that they went to every year. And spent the winter just down there. And we used to have our spring value on our quite open. And I went down there once. Turned out that was the last time we had it down there. That's a long time ago now. But they actually lived up in Wisconsin. And they wintered down there. It was a nice, nice outing. We had a good time with that rally. Had a crowd and had a lot of activities. I wound up, went in there with lamb disease. And it was before we were full time. Somehow at the house we lived in was a lot of trees and a lot of deer. And I remember pulling around. Somehow I got a tick bite on my shoulder. Didn't really, well I remember it after the fact. But then we got down there and somebody saw the shoulder had this big circle on it. Had to go to the doctor. He said, you didn't get that down here. Anyway, like I say, it was just not going to work out for us this year. All right. What else have you got to say, George? 84IH, K4HM. 82IH here. All righty. You know, it's funny. You always talk about, oh, this is going to be a short net. You know, there aren't many people. And then as you try to sign off, more and more people show up. But I think that you actually will have a short net. That this is the first time I've ever been here where it's been this short. Because toward the end of the net, people start showing up all over the place. And we end up being here until like after at least Eastern time, 10 o'clock. But I think tonight, for whatever reason, is actually going to be a short one. And I wanted to say to Tom, KI5ECE, thanks for the update. Because, you know, it's good to hear the news on what was going on in Texas and all. So that was good to fit that in there. And let's see, we heard from Charles and Dave. And both, you know, with, you know, I'm an HF guy. So you don't always get to hear who you're talking to. A lot of people are down in the noise level in what you call a voice print. But here on Echo Link, it just works. And the sound quality is wonderful. So whatever you guys say, I get to hear perfectly. And I really appreciate that. That's why my once a week Echo Link with Hank is pretty cool. So anyway, and also before I time out, if I haven't already, Hank, thanks for running the Echo Link. And thanks for all the stuff you did for RVRN way before us new guys came. Because there was a lot of groundwork that had to be done and a lot of difficult changes over the decades. And we're still here today, a little different but still functioning. And if it wasn't for guys like you that did the heavy lifting, it would never exist. So before I time out, back to Hank.

Yeah, I think it was Ham Nation. Yeah, I used to watch a lot of them. I haven't watched that much. I haven't watched... I sort of dropped off of some of that stuff. There used to be several shows. I haven't watched any of the stuff lately. I just wanted to stop by. Yeah, we used to do old camping years ago. My sister and the kids go camping. Her kids go camping. I've been out to the camp. I know that we said we were going to stay the night. Even if they didn't invite us, they would take us. Not a problem. We'll find a place for you to sleep. We've never done that. But they do go camping. I think they're done camping for the year. I think they went last weekend with the last thing where they did Halloween at the campground. I think they're now done. Yeah, that reminds me. I'll have to do the one hose here. I have the kit. I hook up the air compressor and blow the hose out. So, yeah, get things ready. I guess I have to do that.

I actually thought about installing software and you can use their radios. Most of them will want you to let them know and schedule it. Some of them are like club based and they'll charge a membership fee or something like that. When we first started RVing, I was lost to know what to do without radios, all I had was wire antennas at home and it's kind of hard to string a wire antenna every time you move.

Anyway, if you're in an RV and you have a home base and that home base is set up for remote, no matter where you go, if you have cell service, you could run 1500 watts off a 100 foot tower if that's what you have at home. The only catch to me, to me the only thing that worries me is all your equipment has to be on all the time while you're a 100 or 1000 miles away from home. And for me personally, when I'm not on the air, I shut down my equipment and I physically disconnect my antenna. You know I unscrew it and disconnect it from my antenna switch here in the shack. So that's a little scary to turn everything on and leave it on while you're away from home for weeks or months.

We had a house, but we went full time in 2012. So we haven't had a house since 2012. If we still had the house, I probably would have set it up, but it was just three years after we retired and started RVing that we sold the house and went full time. But you know all the stuff you're talking about that you don't like to do, don't like leaving things on all the time, you'd like to be able to disconnect the antenna, that can all be done by remote control. It costs you a little bit more money to get the equipment to do it, but it can all be done. Hook it up to a computer system and all relays and whatnot and all control from the computer system. Something like, well, I started to say remote desktop on Windows, but that wouldn't do it all for you. You'd still have to have some specialized software. So yeah, we've got several club members that do it. Calvin, our membership manager in Georgia, runs it from his trailer. W3TOM, they have a big time station up there in the Northeast, up in Maryland. And he's got a booming signal all over the place, he operates off his cell phone. All the controls are right there on his cell phone. And we've got some others that are doing that too. What I was talking about are ones that are mostly clubs, a few individuals, but mostly clubs or organizations that are just for that purpose. Stand up a station like that and rent it out to people to use or just let it be there to be used by people that they, you have to get it signed up for it.

Everything is in bloom, especially the Jacarandas now. Everything is purple. All the trees are purple, or at least a lot of them are. So, yeah, beautiful time of the year. Anyway, all of the Australian TV services do an app called Freeview. Freeview connects into all of their other apps and every TV station is on internet as their own app. You log into all of their apps and they use this thing called Freeview and you switch between the stations that are out there. We don't have local independent stations here, so everything is on a network or connected to one. So, you know, the TV here is pretty standard as you go from Sydney to Canberra to Melbourne. You get the same collection of TV, so you just select the area you're near and choose the TV stations that you want to watch. So, that works, assuming you have internet coverage, of course. Otherwise, I'm not sure how else I would do it at this point to connect to other remote TV services without internet. That's about it from here. I'm going to go in and do my shopping here.

So I spent most of my day trying to get it all hooked up. It's usually not as easy as it seems. They make it sound really easy, but it has a scan function and the scan function never has worked. And I downloaded all this HP scan stuff. So I got that working. So it's scanning now, which is really good come income tax time when I have to scan all these documents and send them to my accountant.

Yeah, I'm glad you use your scanning function on a printer. I've had a printer before that had a scanning function, and I think I used it maybe twice. But the idea of scanning things through your accountant is very considerate. In the past when I have had an accountant, I just took pictures of things. I tried very hard to make them legible, but definitely not as considerate as a proper scan. So I hope you get a lot of good use out of the new printer, and I hope you find somebody to take the old ink toner off your hands. Alright, that was round one.

And the most important thing is to replace the old selenium rectifiers. Because boy, oh boy, you do not want one of those things to go up in smoke.

You did have the call sign correct, November Uniform India. And yeah, I was wondering if the AWS average was going to come up. I wish I had been on Monday evening. I'm sure that was quite interesting and amusing. I'm sure lots of other techies out there in the radio land. Yeah, so being a DevOps engineer and infrastructure engineer, when I started up my current job as a little tiny startup, we had everything in US East One. And my recommendation is we should not build any new stuff here. Let's slowly move stuff away. So I felt pretty vindicated with recommending that, just being an old and overloaded region. The reason I bring up outages is that the outage \u2013 I guess there were widespread outages with Comcast Xfinity on Wednesday \u2013 yeah, yesterday morning. And so I had no internet. Even T-Mobile, I think their backhaul was down or something, so the phone data was crawling. I was super bored. I'm like, you know what? I should bust out the old ham radio and dust it off. I have a 2-meter mobile radio, put it set up on my desk, and I can plug it into a power pack with a 12-volt DC output. So that got me back on air. It's kind of interesting to hear all the chat. I'm also watching the voters go to see things pick up. Anyway, I guess the silver lining of these outages is it connects us to different kinds of technology that are more resilient. So go radio. Anyway, 73 is out there, KE7 in UI. I had not heard about Comcast, etc., T-Mobile hiccups that apparently were on Wednesday, I think you said. But I was noticing for work I have to use a computer that's sort of tethered to my phone for internet when I'm out and about. And I was noticing all kinds of trouble with that that I just could not explain. And maybe you just explained it. So thank you very much. I appreciate that. Maybe other people are having that realization as well. And yeah, I think I was just thinking to myself, I used to work from home almost all the time. And yeah, things like that were always a great opportunity to turn on the radio or check out Meshtastic or whatever. And that is, I guess, one frustration of having to run around a little bit more. I feel like I'm a little bit farther away from those things and at least where I was through most of this week. It's on the other side of security, so I can't actually just bring in big old radio equipment. Anyway, I can't even bring in a bag of cashews. Anyway, Arthur, pleasure to hear from you. Thank you so much. And yeah, I would have liked to hear a little bit more about outages back on Monday as well. All right, we have three more stations left on this list.

And traffic is kind of doing a bit of a crawl on one street right now. I'm not sure why, but it's cramped. Otherwise, the evening looks good. And around 5pm or a little after, I was sitting around on the HF rig and decided to try a different frequency. It's still within the 10 meter range. Well, as far as I know, it's still within the 10 meter range. I went up to 25.5, I believe it may have been 6.770. I was up there and accidentally caught two people talking up there. I could be wrong about the frequency, but I was in that range. So I tried to make contact in between the gap. And lo and behold, well, it was hit and miss, mostly miss. I gave it a try, but I thought they heard me and ended up telling them I couldn't hear them. Because they were fading out, too much static. But I did hear people on 10 meters. So I was happy as a kitten today. And like some of you out there, I did not tinker on the computer or laptop or anything because there does seem to be some strange glitches going on out there. But hopefully they get it straightened out to where we don't have to worry about it. But as to the HF rig, it definitely works. It does what it's supposed to, but I couldn't make contact with those two people. And it sounded like they were trying to work with the mic gain on equipment, so I left them alone.

One of the things about Tacoma that's so much less dense that I sometimes kind of miss that bustle, unless of course you're trying to get around, then it can be a little bit frustrating.

And I was just amazed. And my neighbor came over and we were talking on the patio and watching the squirrels doing their speed test training. And boy were they moving. And so it was pretty fun to watch them, you know. Rocky was running around as usual. And Princess showed up and Skidders was there. Oh yeah, Tiny was there, but she's starting to get a little bigger now. So maybe I'll call her half size. I don't know. But she'll be fine. And on my weather station front, I have a weather station for LA, Los Angeles, a weather station for the Bay Area, and another one for Seattle, which I watch off and on.

I kind of wonder what the weather's like up there. So anyway, that's pretty much it. Oh yeah, just got this weird thing going on with DoorDash and the guy's doing as far as delivery. And once in a while, drivers just cannot figure it out how to get in here. But the other ones seem to have no problems. So one of those mysteries.

I don't know what instrument I'll play. I told the director, whichever you need. And then what else? Oh, the Granershine. Hopefully I make it. If it's really pouring rain, I might come. I want to tone it. That's the reason. Anyway, the space thing and the space station to talk through and other satellites, if anybody has any phone 787, it has to be the plus or something. I've got that in the last firmware update. Put satellite data in it. You need to make sure, you can head for the education thing, choose the correct database or it's incorrect. They've got a bad database. But if one works, it'll pop up just correctly. And all you do is dial for that satellite. It uses the correct frequencies, offsets, tones, takes care of everything. Before I've used a Kenwood 72 to do the same, so it'll be full duplex. But any tone works great. It'll tell you when it's coming on the rise and give a kind of basic map of where it is. And it makes it really easy. I've been using an arrow or a dog log for the antenna. So that particular radio makes it really simple. Anyway, I'm going to say 73.

I would have checked in earlier but I was busy eating some toasted Marmite for a very, very early breakfast. I woke up, couldn't get back to sleep, tossed and turned off the house, obviously I was getting up, so made a cup of tea and came into the shack and turned the radio on with the computer on. I'm just thinking of this research, I like very, very strong teas. I was born in the 50s and tea was not considered probably brood unless it had been stewed from these tenderness and maybe a real big teapot put on top of the stove to keep it warm through. One of my favorites is a smoky tea from China called Lapsong, which I don't have very often, it's very, very refreshing in the summer. It's a smoky tea, that's the only way to describe it. I noticed I was getting down the supplies I've got, so I thought I'll just order some more. That was proving a very, very difficult task. The company that made it, it's no longer available in the tea bag form and another one, most of it is loose tea at ridiculously high prices. I could not believe it. I think I paid like 50 tea bags and it cost me about two pounds fifty or three pounds sterling, something like that. I only got 14 pounds for that and for loose tea. There was one, I think it was a kilo of Lapsong Souchong, 56 pounds sterling. It's almost $70 for a kilo of tea. You could be kidding me. I blame you guys, you've cooked all our tea supplies in Boston Harbor for which you've only just been forgiven by the late Queen. I could not believe the cost of it. You can tell I've had this box of 50 tea bags for probably 18 months, two years, so I don't have it very often. It's just like this, getting down is a bit hard to order some more. You know, if you come off my perch, I could not believe the price of it. It might become a bit of a luxury item, but I can't live without it. I don't know if I can live with those prices though. I'm sure there must be an easy way of getting it at a reasonable price, but there we go. So that's been my morning so far. Made some toast, smeared it with some butter and marmite, and I just got the building one month. I've had a lot of tea because it's thick, dark and brown. In fact, it's almost reddish in color, and it's been properly stewed. But yeah, so you could sand your spoon up in this. None of this mambi, what we call it, all grey and stuff, you know, all flavoured things, you know, which is property. Anyway, that's enough of my UK rant about tea. And just remember, you always put the milk in second, not first. Because it stops the chemical reaction. So you put it first, and the last thing you put your sugar in, and the last thing you put in is your milk. Anyway, here are the instructions on tea making from the Shire. Both make control to the LRB."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-23T21:56:12+00:00","id":67433,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67432,"text":" Oh yeah, I'm probably gonna completely bungle this history, but I think there was a pretty famous dispute in some scientific lab where there was a woman scientist and she claimed, I think, if I'm not recalling incorrectly, that she could tell the difference in tea that was brewed with milk first versus tea first, and people were like, surely not. And lo and behold, she could, and science backed up that there was in fact a difference in the end result. It's not just simple addition and subtraction, it's a little bit more complicated than that, as many bakers I'm sure could tell you. But yeah, I do not know much of that lap-sung other word that adds after that tea, something that is in fact smoky. I like that strange vegetal Pu'erh tea in terms of odd Chinese teas, or at least maybe more divisive Chinese teas. And yeah, it sounds like you're having a delightful morning. A cup of tea so strong it'll hold the spoon up, and some radio, and a little bit of toast and Marmite. I remember I was a little kid when a teacher first brought in Marmite for us to try, and I think also Vegemite, and we were able to sort of compare the two. I cannot for the life of me remember what I thought the difference was. I'm sure there are some connoisseurs of yeast product that can tell us more. But yeah, Jack, I hope not to out you there Jack, but he texted me and said Marmite sounds horrible. We all have our proquivities. I know a lot of people in Europe thought it was strange when I was missing peanut butter. I thought that was a weird one. And I get it, peanut butter sounds like a weird product. Peanut butter anyway, it's like cashew cheese. That's a weird term. Anyway, yes it's all getting very expensive. I love tea, but drink mostly coffee over here I think like a lot of folks. And those are also climbing in prices for all sorts of reasons which we won't get into. And yes, polite reminder, hi hi, that we do not talk about 18th century politics on the 9 o'clock net.

Thanks very much for letting me check in everybody. I know I probably talked too much during the nets anyway. But yeah, let's see, I had mentioned that I have a move coming up. I have missed feelings about that. Mostly the feeling that I have is stress. I've got a busy job that I'm only a few months into, so I feel like that is still sort of tough to step aside from and sort of set some time aside for me. But it's been, generally speaking, a good new job. I had to commute basically straight downhill for the past three days. Not today, but Monday through Wednesday. It was a nice fast commute. I was on my bike and it said it was going to take 13 minutes. It took eight minutes. It was a lot of fun. Don't worry, I was actually in fact quite safe. There was only one driver who was unsafe and they just didn't stop at the stop sign. So there's only so much you can do with that. What else? There was something else I wanted to talk about, but as the net does to you, it sucked it out of my brain and set it just too far away from me. Let's see, I was just looking around the attic and I was like, man, I missed garage sale season. I really have a lot of stuff in here that I should have tried to sell during garage sale season. So now I'm just going to have to make a list of things and list them on various tedious websites where I have to take pictures and things and wait at my door to do weird exchanges with strangers. So yeah, let's see. I have a coffee ride in the morning. I do this, I probably mentioned it on the net. I do every other Friday morning at 7 a.m. which for those of you who know me, I'm not a morning person so you know that I'm crazy about this event. And we go to a different coffee shop every Friday or every other Friday. And we're going to one tucked away in Proctor, a little residential neighborhood here in Tacoma. And it should be a blast. It's always nice to see some friends. Always a little bit groggy before we get to the coffee shop but it's kind of nice to get out there when it's brisk and with enough folks that you're not worried about getting hit by a car or as worried about getting hit by a car. Although we got threatened a couple of weeks ago by someone who was not happy that we were biking in the road. What a crazy idea. And so yeah, that's fun. Normally it is a lot of fun and even that day was fun. Anyway, not looking forward to the rain. I need to get some better gear for biking in the rain. I have some alright hiking in the rain gear but it doesn't really translate to the bike so well. Anyway, that's my rambling. Thanks for putting up with me. Thank you so much for joining us for tonight's net. I'm going to let this drop. I'll do the outro and then I will return the repeater to normal operation.

You know, I've been prepping for winter for about a month now. And I'm closing in on the end of it. Yesterday I drained the watering system on the deck. Pretty soon we're going to pull all the cushions off the chairs and put them in the boxes out there. And I got to make sure that all the hoses are drained around the house. Although you know what I did when after being here for a little while, you know, the contractors bought hoses and they bought the regular hard hoses. Because they thought, you know, that will get them a good hose. And actually, I think they asked me and I said, well, just get the best hose you can. I don't want the cheap ones. And I went back and I got the nylon ones with whatever it is, latex hose inside that expanded contract because if they happen to have water in them, and they usually do, in the winter, they'll freeze and break. And those ones don't. They do not break. So that's good. And I think that they're just much better, longer lasting hoses. So I got to do that for this house and Camp 2. And I'll go over to Camp 0, which it looks like, and this is sort of the age old conundrum. One person, one brother-in-law has some kind of Lou Gehrig's disease or something like that, and he's coming apart. He's barely able to walk anymore, anything like that. He's starting to think he can't use made anymore. And that house is a four-way split now. It's going to be a three-way split when they settle the estate. And then now he wants to be bought out. And so we're debating whether we've got the money to buy him out, which when we would own two-thirds of the house, I'm pretty sure the other person who owns it doesn't have the cash, the capital. But I don't like throwing away that much money for another house. Although, boy, it's neighbor control for me. It's right next door. And I'm not sure I want to just sell it to anybody.

We've actually drained the sprinkler lines and got those all blown out and got the sprinkler heads covered and pump apart and everything drained out of the lines. We've got the pool covered up and closed up for the winter and got the pump and filter put away. The only thing we have left that we have to do is go around and take care of all the leaves that fall out of the trees that we get. Most of those are already starting to come down. That will be kind of a chore because a couple of the trees are large oak trees. If anybody's ever had an oak tree, they've got a lot of leaves and they come down basically all winter long.

I've got two breakfasts I'm gonna go get a third one, or at the Bay, it's called the Bay Diner, me living at Bay Village. Anyway, so I had all my breakfasts, I did my Morse code, I think I had like an hour of Morse code for three different stations. A lot of Morse code. So I definitely got way beyond my normal fix. The antennae I put up here is an oak tree, like 30 feet off the ground. It's really getting out well for me. I even talked back to my friends in Colorado from Ohio. So anyway, did that. Had breakfast number two with my wife, had a real light breakfast because we're gonna get a great big one. They have great big huge pancake stacks and whatnot at that Bay Diner. You said you're getting ready for something. Is that winter? I don't know. I'll try to pay attention. Well, we're getting prepared by driving to Florida. How's that? That's what the question was.

So we've called for seconds a couple of times and we're going to rotate back around to the top through KC2, PKT and talk to Greg. So I guess the next question that we'll talk about is food preps or meal prepping. I've spent a little bit of time this past weekend putting away a little bit of food to help us, kind of like a squirrel storing nuts. We cooked some breakfast burritos and ended up making a little over 50 of them. Rocked them up and froze them so now we have frozen breakfast burritos in the fridge that we can grab and heat up in about a minute just like you would if you bought them at the store already made. So kind of like meal prepping, grab and go. We also canned what we call a chicken soup base, where it's chicken broth and chicken and some carrots, onions and celery all put into canning jars and sealed. So we've done that too. So do anybody else do any kind of food prep or meal prepping? Sending it over to KC2, PKG. This is repeater station... KJ5IRQ. This is KC2, PKG. You know, I got so distracted by the controversy over Camp Zero and how it's going to get split up whether they sell it or not. I forgot to mention that two of our houses, Camp Zero and Camp Two, have to... they have plumbing that needs to be drained and one of them you have to pump out and one of them you blow out with an air compressor. And there's one pertinent structure, our boathouse, that has a bathroom and heater and all that stuff in it and that all has to be... I think that's just blown out though. It was built to be drained, which a lot of houses aren't. But as we redo them we changed that. So it's tomato season here in Washington County, Maine. And I woke up this morning and there was a big box of fresh tomatoes from somebody's garden, I think Tammy's garden down the road, and she just dropped them off for us. And we'll take the big ones and take them over to the food pantry, which is about to be in trouble over food because snack benefits got turned off. So that means there's going to be more people at the food pantry. So the tomatoes will go over there Monday. And the tiny grape-sized tomatoes, I'm going to cut them all in half and start drying them. And that's really... that's kind of winter food prep. So we'll have fresh sun-dried tomatoes or just dried tomatoes all winter long. I might get some more at the store too, because they're going to go through a tomato thing as well. Oh, and let me drop it for a second. Exciting news."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-24T05:03:24+00:00","id":67497,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67496,"text":" Alright, KC2, PKG returning.

If you want to shoot a Moose in Maine, you gotta win the lottery. And he won, he won last year, but he was too sick to go, so they deferred him for a year. So I believe Friday, he's gonna pack up, and they've rented a cabin, and they're gonna go off there into the woods, and a couple of hunters are going. And I don't know how many have permits, but you can split a Moose five ways, easy. And it is highly regarded as me up here. Everybody says the Moose is the best. The best you can have. And I've heard that in other places too. I don't think I've had much Moose in my life, though. It's one of those things I have to dare myself to do. But they say, you won't be sorry, it's really good. So, that was exciting. There will be a Moose around here. And I think he's gonna get it butchered up there.

That way it's easier for you later that week or whatever. I had an uncle who did this back, gosh, 90s, early 2000s. When he passed away in 2009, we opened up his freezer and he had meals made for him for probably a good year or more. He made the best chicken and dumplings in the world. He had chicken and dumplings put in little individual containers. Really, 2009, I was just 29. We ate on that for probably a good year after that. It was so awesome.

I would do it on the weekends. I was working very hard to watch my diet and I eliminated all, not some, not most, but all prepared foods. So everything I was eating was whole. I was not putting any salt into my food. I was only using white pepper and it really helped out. It did a really good job of cleaning my system out. If I accidentally had something that was prepped, that wasn't whole, my body would tell me. The more crap that was in the food, if I went out to eat, I would get a bad stomach ache. My body was able to get a lot healthier by not eating processed foods, that's for sure. But it's just so much work. I wish I could get back to that and do all that because the energy I get out of that is incredible. It's just difficult. Everything that we have, the whole store, the only real part of the store that I would shop at would be the produce section and the meat section, all those other sections, all the other aisles, you wouldn't catch me in. Anyway, that's my take on it. I just got back in. I figured it's 31 degrees, and my tomato plants are against a wall in a house. It's against two walls. It's got its advantages. It's blocked from the north, and it's blocked from the east. But the disadvantage is that the sun gets a little block in the morning until noontime. They don't get the sun, but they seem like they do pretty good. But definitely, I think it protects them from the wind and hopefully the frost. So I just sprayed a bunch of water on them, hoping to save them because this is the coldest it's been here in Elgin, Illinois, since April. So anyway, back to you, Josh.

That's really not really meal prepping. Relying on the restaurants prep. Anyway, I don't know. I'm thinking we're probably going to have to start doing more of that to save money and to try to get more of a reasonable thing going on here as far as the way we live. We were so busy moving here that that's one of the last things we put energy in on. And we have a real tiny house. You need some storage to do the meal prep, I guess. My mom used to can all that, tons and tons of canned goods. And we'd eat them all winter long. Anyway, so I think that's what we're talking about. So I guess I'm not doing much of that right now. This is N0BF. Back to you.

Inventory is today, started today after the defects and issues that we've had, so we're monitoring it very closely to try to mitigate any issues. I am a little distracted today, but that is what it is. All right, well, that brings us to the bottom of the list. We're going to move on here in a minute and start talking about AI, but it's not the same AI that we've always talked about. I think we're going to start talking a little bit more about AI agents. I thought that would be interesting to bring up today, but before we do, let's see if anybody else wants to jump in on the conversation. This is KJ5 IRQ, Josh. The net controller for the car above the net today is Friday, October 24th, and it's about 7.15 in the morning. If you'd like to join the conversation today, we're about to get into AI and AI agents.

So moving up to the top, let's talk about AI agents. And we're all kind of used to AI, right? We've talked about it a lot on here. ChatGPT or Gemini or something along that where you get to ask it a question or tell it what to do. And it's basically a little robot that takes what you input and gives you an output based on what your desires are. So AI agents is kind of the next step. And I guess the best thing to describe it is it doesn't just talk to you like a chatbot. Think of it like an employee. You can tell it what you need and help it come up with a plan to take steps to work for you as an employee, as a robot, as a bot. So that's called an agent. We use basic agents all the time and you probably don't know it. If you use a smart thermostat that adjusts your temperature based on your schedule or an automated bot that might trade stocks for you or other things, those are agents that you already use. But with today's AI world, we have the ability to build these agents ourselves. And what's better than just building them is we can do it without coding, meaning you don't have to get on there and sit there and learn how to code to build these things. You can talk in regular English and AI will take what you're talking about and what you're asking about and turn it into an agent. Then you can have your own personal app for whatever you're looking for. Say you want to have a weather report and have it not only sent to your phone but logged on your computer. Well, an AI agent can do that. So anyhow, AI agents are really pretty cool for everything that they can do. So I don't know if anybody here is familiar with them. So let's go around the table and see if anybody has used them or heard of them or see what anybody's knowledge is on AI agents, the next step of the AI ecosystem. Let's take a look at KC2-PKG and see what Gray has to say."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-24T05:20:36+00:00","id":67509,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67508,"text":" KJ5 IRQ this is KC2PKG.

That TV comedy show they had a blonde on there who was good-looking her name was Suzanne Summer and she died about two years ago breast cancer but she before she died she wrote about 57 different books and did a lot of work and spoke a lot all that kind of stuff. Well her husband has commissioned an AI to impersonate her and apparently there's a robot body too but I haven't seen it yet so I'm holding off on it but taking the in other words they trained up the AI with it as a large language model and then they added all that specialized information from her books from her diaries from her speaking tours and stuff like that and he has it's ready and he's kind of got it in testing at his house and he's trying it out and says so far it answers the way that she would so it's kind of a kind of a wild thing you can do you can be preserved way beyond your depth and it was okay with her what he says her whole family agrees that they all talked about it and she was fine with doing it so that there you go there's your AI assistant I would very much like that depending on how portable it was you know I'm suspicious of things that live in the cloud that you just suddenly won't have access to them but you need a lot of computing power my son has a couple of local instances he's big into AI and but he needs you know he needs to dedicate you know several machines to making it work but anyway there you go you can preserve your loved ones long after they're gone as an AI bot back to you kj5 IRQ did you hear about that you can google it you guys"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-24T05:21:19+00:00","id":67510,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67509,"text":" No, I didn't hear about that.

Well, one thing, I think it requires a lot of data accumulation. And with that, I'm assuming a lot of it requires data centers. And these data centers, there's a lot of resources that get taken up by a lot of power, a lot of water. But Chicago is like the AI capital, from what I understand. And we're putting up data centers everywhere. And even though the company I'm working at, we don't have a data center that we're doing. And I'm assuming we're pretty slow since I'm sitting down. But when I look at all the work that's going on, and I look at my union hall and how many members are working, it definitely is good for my trade, electricians. That's for sure, because the number of electricians that aren't working right now is the lowest I've ever seen. And it's lower than I see it during the summer of regular years. So it appears as I look, these contractors are requesting electricians, and their request is getting unfilled because there's no one to fill and do the work. And then same thing, I'm in Cook County, but our... Oh wow. Our smaller counties also have a bunch of these data centers going on, so they have no electricians available to come near us. But people tell me that our local is not friendly with travelers. The contractors really don't like having travelers come in and working. There's a lot of rumors about these traveling contractors and what they do and how they try to really make sure that work gets slowed down and all kinds of other stuff.

Well, we must move on to Steve. The new answer to that, K-E-N-D-U-U. What do you know about AI and what do you think about it? I specifically am talking about AI agents, the ability to build little bots to do some mundane tasks for you. Say, something to check your email throughout the day and just send you just important things and not allow spam to come through. There are lots of little things you can do with it. So what say you, Steven? The mic is yours. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo F-7 November 2nd, November. Hey, this is K-9-D-U. Yes, I am very familiar with how to use AI agents, especially with the work I do. It has come in quite handy. It has helped me quite a bit with my job, taking away a lot of the tedious, I guess you can say tasks and things like that, that I used to have to do on the computer and spend time in my office. Working with the quality department at the facility where I work and also working with the safety coordinator and safety manager, with being a production manager myself, it actually helps to do things on the computer with making bulletins and filling out reports and doing all the little things that you would normally be tied up with. You know, spending time on the computer, in the office, it allows me to actually take a tablet with me out to the production floor and be more engaged with what's going on with production and quality. And even into shipping and receiving, I can just go ahead and enter things into a tablet and automatically send everything to my computer and it's put into different spreadsheets and data profiles and all the things I would normally be tied up with. So it frees me up to do more of the things that I should be doing in regards to my job as being a production supervisor and working with the employees in the different departments on a personal basis. So it helps me out quite a bit. So I do actually like that aspect of it. There are some things to it that I don't really care for in the way of what AI can do. But it's actually turned out to be pretty beneficial to me in some aspects. So I will send it back to Net Control. I don't know if I'm going to be able to stick around much more because, well, I've got to get ready to go to work to begin with. So thank you all for taking the time to listen to me ramble. Oh, it looks like you timed out. That's too bad. What happens to the best of us? K-E-9-D-U-U.

But yeah, how you was talking about AI agents and how it helps you at your job, that's kind of how it helps me out. I'm a NetSuite administrator, which is an ERP platform, and so I can use agents for performance optimization to help suit scripts and save searches load for bad times and inefficiencies. Some of the things you can do is set up an anomaly searches to make sure there's no anomaly. A little bit, I can't talk this morning. Anyhow, so there's no outliers that get caught. So, I mean, there's lots of things you can use them for for my job, so that's why I find it so interesting. All right, turning it down to November 0BS. Steve, I bet you don't use AI agents, but I bet you could think of a million reasons of what they could be used for.

The first one I was putting laundry in, the second one I was going to get my shot. AI agents haven't used them yet man, haven't come up with a need to look into it. I do use AI for informational search and deep search. And so it turns out a lot of people are very, very disgusted about the current condition of the White House. Myself and others, and there was a Senator there, I saw an interview with him yesterday and he said this is disgusting. And being as that he's an actual member of government, he was able to get some really close up photos and videos and they are demolishing that part of the White House. Like it is already demolished and it is very, very sad to see. That's a commemorative building. That's a historic building. I don't know how it's not a national historic site to be honest with you. And if it is and he tore down that big chunk of it, then he should get what everybody else would get. Use your own money to repair it and get off the land. That's what would happen if a regular human, pretty sad we are not classifying Trump as a regular human anymore, but a caring person, like a regular person, if they did something to a national historic site, they would have to A, pay it back. I bet there would be criminal charges for the second slide of it. And you have to use your own money to fix it. And I think it is just a travesty. I would like to know how do the American people feel about this? Like it is absolute destruction. If you haven't seen it, it is destruction. And he said back over summer that this was not going to affect the original building. It was going to be next to it, not touching it. He said it was a very big fan of the original White House and it wouldn't affect it whatsoever. He obviously just blatantly threatened. And now he has a large chunk of the White House absolutely destroyed. I think that is disgusting. For the sake of a Mar-a-Lago style ballroom. How do you guys feel about this, I wonder?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-24T05:37:05+00:00","id":67522,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67521,"text":" Yeah, I was thinking you would like AI agents. Yeah, I think once you get into them, I think you'd find a lot of usage for them. There's a lot of really cool things you can do. I know you use AI for searching and stuff like that, but AI agents can be the hands, if you will, of what you're doing. For example, say for work, say I need to travel for work, I can book my plane, book my car, book everything through my AI agent now, just telling it what I need it to do. I don't have to go search for it or anything. It already knows what I need to do because I've already taught it that. So it can actually go and book it for me. I find that fascinating. Hey, AI agent, book me a hotel in Morlago, Florida between these dates. Make sure it's at least a four and a half store hotel with a swimming pool and a continental breakfast. And it will go and do that for you. I mean, that's amazing. So that's just one little usage of it. There's lots of usages for AI agents. As far as the White House, yeah, I've seen it. I don't really care. It's the East Ring, which is not the White House. It's an add-on to the White House, just like the West Ring is an add-on to the White House. It was built 50, 80 years ago. I don't care. It's not historic. It's an office building, basically. Now, they've adapted it over the years to do certain things, but it's basically just an office building. That's what it was built for. Truth be told, in my conspiratorial mind, I would expect that they're probably expanding the bunker or doing some underground work where they needed to remove what was on top, and this just gave them a very good reason to do that. That's just my conspiratorial mind, though.

It's nothing special. Don't get all twisted about the White House actually being burnt down like 1812. That's not happening. It's remodeling. Lots of presidents have remodeled. Lots of presidents. I mean, hell, Truman completely gutted the entire White House, the entire thing, and built it back. So, I mean, it's not unprecedented either. Anyhow, that's enough girls.

I'm in computer software and I run professional services teams, so consultants. What I see mostly is how have you used AI to make your jobs easier, to reduce headcount, to automate your workflows? What have you actually implemented? The challenge is they don't want 10 years experience, but this AI in its current form hasn't been around for more than just a few years. In my last job, I was there for four years and this got invented while I was there. I haven't really done much with it at all and they want all this experience. Hopefully I'll come across semi-intelligent, but yeah, it's mostly for automating things and taking the human redundancy tasks off the plate. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November, Quebec, November. Well, let's help you out for just a moment. So this is something I actually am well versed in and what you're describing is exactly what AI agents or agentic bots are made for. What I'm trying to talk about today, I don't think it's going over very well because it is advanced. But that's what AI agents or agentic scripting does. And today with no code scripting, I mean, it's simple. You tell it, type it, work with a chat, CPT chat bot to get your prompts correct and then you run the bot. It's really, I mean, really we should set up something online and show people what to get. Little Jean, I'm on the radio. Hush. That's enough. My dog back talks to me every morning. Anyhow, yeah, so agents, that's what they do. I mean, that's what the job is. They are small programs designed to take mundane repetitive tasks and do them for you. I personally run, I'm an administrative administrator, so it's an ERP platform. There are lots of little repetitive things that I have to do every week or every month or whatever the case may be that as I come across them, I can now set up into a little AI agent that's always running in the background that will do it for me. Okay. For an example, let's say I have a report that has to be ran every week without fail. Well, I can set up the agent to run that report, not only run it but to adapt to the output of the report. Then also have the agent take it and compile that report, put it in the format that the report needs to be in and email that report out to the people who need it. The AI agent can do all of those steps that I manually have had to do for years. That is an example of how an AI agent can be built to maximize your time so you could use something like that in your interview. I'll pass it back over to you one more time to see if you have any questions or anything."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-24T06:05:37+00:00","id":67565,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67564,"text":" Well, I took some notes.

N, the letter N, November, N8N. And then look up OpenAI Agent Kit, I think is what it's called. Look up custom GPTs or GEMs, as Jim and I call them. These are all tools, agent tools, AI tools that people are using to do what I was just saying, to do the mundane tasks or to slim down the head count in the professional world.

And the first thing, Peter left, but in case he is still listening, when your iPhone won't charge and it's a lightning connector, first thing you do is get yourself a toothpick and clean out the port because lint gets compacted in the bottom of it. And you can really tell if that's true if it doesn't make an audible click when you put in the lightning cable. Because then it just doesn't have room to make the connection. The second thing you do is you look at your power adapter and your cable, you know, try swapping those out. Sometimes iPhones won't charge because the power adapter is only one amp. It just won't, you know, it'll keep going. If you if you have to plug it in, it'll keep the phone going, but it won't charge. It doesn't have enough power. So there's a couple of things to check. I think that and I'm just I'm talking about me right now. I don't have a lot of use for AI. It doesn't do things that I need right now. I don't but I don't working like you. I'm not in the corporate world, in the cubicle world anymore. And I haven't been for almost 30 years. So I don't need any reports prepared or anything like that. Going through my email is that would be a nice thing if you could have something that scraped your email and said, okay, this is all garbage. And I'm subscribing from all this stuff. So I would be very interested in that app or that use of AI. They had it. Also, if it had stuff like it could create lists of tasks without me doing anything like we're talking about closing down for the winner. Well, that's a big deal around here. I got five houses and two apartment structures and they all need different handling and stuff like that.

If I could ask it with some confidence, you know, what can we have for dinner? That would be great. That would be great. It had a real sense of what we've got and what we like and stuff like that. You said this thing when I was a single parent for a while, my first wife died, I was a single parent. And, you know, you got to get them all fed before they go off to school. They didn't want anything in the morning. We had to play the breakfast game, you know. You want cereal? No. Do you want peanut butter and cherry sandwich? No. Do you want soup? No. Do you want scuttle eggs and bacon? No. You know, and we just keep going until I suddenly said, we're not doing this anymore. I'm going to serve you breakfast and you will eat it. And if you don't, that's fine. But if it would do that for you, help you pick what you're going to eat, make up the list to go to the store, what you need in the way of supplies and stuff like that, that would be a wonderful thing. And I could really use that. If it would, I would like it to go through my Plex database, because I've noticed that that degrades over time, you get entries where they're not supposed to be. I'd love an AI to go through that and go up to you, it miscategorizes, I'll fix it for you. That would be good. And that's the kind of stuff I need. And that's the kind of stuff I don't have. Oh, I do have an announcement, a quick announcement. I was telling my boys on family dinner night, that I'm getting rid of all the neato vacuum cleaners, I'm just going to throw them away. And jumped up and said, oh, we'll take them. This is repeater station, November, November, November, November, November, November, November, November, November, November, November, November, suites, no cloud. But if you press the button, it will find its way around and do some cleaning. And I didn't have to throw them away. I'm thrilled about that. Back to you, KJ5IRQ. This is KC2PKG.

You know the things that you're describing is the things that people are setting up with a agent or a genic scripting. It takes a bit of time and it's a bit of trial and error. It's not as similar to say Apple's ecosystem where you just pick it up and go with it. At least not yet. So you do have to spend a bit of time setting it up. Here's an example of one that my wife and I did. We wanted to set up something just went ding dong in my head and I don't know what it was but I'm still talking so here we go. Okay, case usage. So my wife and I wanted to set up an easy way to select food prep or meal prep meals. So whenever we go grocery shopping, we can go to our AI agent and pull it up and say this is what we have and we want to come up with a week's worth of meals. Using what we have, come up with what we can make and then it will. And then if there's some things you're missing, it can generate a list of what you need to buy. We spent about two, two and a half weeks setting that sucker up. Not eight hours a day of course, you know an hour here, thirty minutes there. Stopping and thinking about it, testing it and then making an edit and then moving on. Now we really do have an agent that reports to my phone and her phone only. It's a private app that whenever we get ready to go grocery shopping, we can open the app, we can snap pictures of the food items in our pantry and in our fridge. It may not capture everything and that's okay. It gets a good 90% of items that way and then it will see what's in our database that we built with the ingredient list that it captured for more pictures and it will spit out a list of recommended items to be prepared. It's kind of janky, you know and it doesn't work flawlessly but it's pretty cool you know for a door clacking me. So my wife likes it because now she doesn't have to think about what's within her. She can go, what do you want for dinner? I don't care. Here, try the app and whatever it is you can cook. And we've done that a couple of times this past two weeks and it's actually worked out fairly well. So again, it's not polished, it's not finished but it's a freaking cool little AI app you know from that I didn't have to do any coding on. None. Zero. It's all done using AI and chat based scripting. So there you go.

It's 11.47pm here. Rolling out of Friday into Saturday morning. Going well. AI, the topic of the night by the sounds of things. I've just switched on. Charged up the batteries and switched on. I had a strange thing happen with AI ages ago. Just quizzing, you know, quizzing doing questions to AI, text based on radio, ham radio etc. And when I left, AI said 74 and I corrected AI, I said 73 is the final, you know, thing that we say. And ever since then, AI said even AI makes mistakes. Ever since then, whenever I shut down a conversation or question session with AI, it always says 73. And this surprises me out of the blue whenever I finish up 73. So it's almost like it remembers me and remembers me correcting the mistake that it made. Yeah, it probably does. It's how it's designed. So if you corrected it, it probably did log that into its memory so it doesn't, hopefully doesn't mess up and see 74s again and it continues as it's 73s. I've noticed that on just about every AI chatbot that I've used. And if I correct it, if it, you know, if it drifts or hallucinates and gives me a wrong answer and I correct it, it typically doesn't make that mistake again. That mistake is then fixed it seems like. So yeah, that's an interesting take on it. AI is interesting just the whole way that it works and how it predicts things. I mean, and truth be told, that's all AI is. It's a prediction generator. It predicts what's going to come next. It's just highly accurate prediction. So, all right, well, I'm going to call for check-ins one more time. And our list is down to four people. It is a Friday. People's coming and going. So it is 8.30 in the morning and I'm calling for check-ins. So if you'd like to join our small group of Friday operators, come now.

A couple of things popped up in my mind. And I'm sorry, Rick, we lost touch with Rick because I wanted to tell him that if you're not getting enough work as an electrician in the company you're in, and you have a chance to get in on one of the ones that are building data centers, take it. But they will work your butt off. I used to work my electrician so hard. It was incredible. And they had to end up hiring more people to come in because data centers, a lot of wiring to it. And it's special wiring. It's like, you know, there's no cheating. There's no two conductor switches. Everything's three conductor or four. And you're locking plugs. And there's all this other stuff that only electricians can do by code. So there'll be lots of work out there especially for those data centers. The other thing I wanted to mention is that I really been eyeing these meta AI. They're called meta, I think they're displays. They're Ray-Ban displays for meta. And they have an AI function. I can't find out enough about what that actually does. I saw it during the demo translating on the fly. That's pretty good. But I didn't see much else that it can do. So I'm still running that down in my spare time which I had almost none of. But it's amazing. You retire and you get so busy, you don't have time for anything. Can't figure out how I ever got to work for eight hours a day or 10 or 12, whatever it was. But the other problem with that is you have to be fitted for them. And of course there's not a fitting place. The closest one is Nashua, New Hampshire to me, where I live. But I am going down to the center of the universe, Morristown, New Jersey. And I'm thinking about making an appointment at some point around there. I got to find out where it is, where they do it. Like there's none in Boston. There's none in Portland. In Nashua, New Hampshire is the closest one here. But since I am going down there, I thought I might squeeze that in and then get a chance to try them out and see what's going on in that. Take about an hour, I bet. Anyway, but it's again, am I gonna use the AI part? Do I have a use for that? I don't know. I don't know. I'd have to figure it out. And then I'm constantly struggling with finding uses for AI. I'd love to, but in my little life, there's not much room for it. I mean, it'd be fun to talk to an AI and have a conversation and stuff like that. But I got stuff to do. So having a portable one or a portable receiver for one, that would be cool. I could use it more. Right now, I gotta sit next to my Alexa and talk to it.

Yeah, I agree with you. Everything is concerning. I will say that I did look it up because I was interested. This is just data that I looked up. It's non-partisan. They're reporting on the high side around 7 million people did this latest No Kings march. So if you base that on the total population of the United States, that's a little less than 2%. So less than 2% of the total population actually turned out for these marches. Which I thought was interesting. But what I found out was interesting or a little more interesting than that is that there's actually a threshold somewhere like 3.5% or so. Usually if 3.5% or so of the population or a group of people protest, that movement tends to have a high level of success. I found that to be very fascinating. So it seems to me like right now the No Kings movement is 1.5% points away from having a probable percentage of success. That's just me and my dorkiness looking at the data. That's it. No partisans at all. Just flat data. And I thought that was just fascinating. That's kind of the nerdy stuff I like to look into. So alright, well, let's see. Who's after you would be KC1YDR.

You know, it tends to get overthought that, you know, it can do amazing things and it can, but what it really excels in are the stupid little mundane things. For an example, if you trusted it to balance your checkbook, it could automatically balance your checkbook. You know what I mean?

And I just went in and told them that next trip we'd probably be late for the first delivery because I wasn't going to be available until much later in the morning than originally planned with the other trips. So they took that one off of us. And now I'm just waiting to see what they gave us this morning. But I just got up. I promised my student I'd get her over to the truck stop if she wanted to grab a shower. And we usually take showers every other day. But she was used to getting them every day. So as long as we're at a truck stop where I have a shower credit, if she wants one, I can give her one. And so that's what we're going to do right now. But go ahead and keep me on the list. I don't know if this is the finals or not. But if we got one more round, I'll be here. And I know a few. Back to KJ5IRQ. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. Oh, wow, KJ5IRQ. Yeah, I figured roll out. We'll do one more round and then slip into 73. It's a short list. We still got a good 25 minutes or so left. So got to get us closer to the top of the hour, as they like to say. Funny you talk about showers because I was in the habit of taking two showers a day for a long time after I got back from Iraq. And it's because I think I went so long without one. It's like I got to make up for lost time. Man, I tell you. My life's over here yelling at her game. So if you hear somebody in the background. Oh, she's kind of the dog's bringing in mud. Yeah, it leaned here last night. And I got the back door right open because it's so beautiful outside. And the dogs are tracking in mud. So it's really my fault. Anyhow, anyhow, let's get to the bottom of the list. So I will make one more call for chicken. This will be the final call. Then we'll do a round. It may not be the final call. Let's not be the final call yet. But let's do another call. So we'll do another call and then do a round and then do the final call. So if you want to join this list of four, come now with your call sign and I'll get you in."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-24T06:40:30+00:00","id":67602,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67601,"text":" This is November 9, November, Whiskey, Sierra, N9, NWS, Jean in northern Georgia.

Now I've been meeting all morning to talk to you about an AI app, Grace, specifically for you, but everybody else may really like it, so listen up. There is an app called Hux, H-U-X-E. I believe that's how you spell it. Let me check it. Hang on."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-24T06:43:34+00:00","id":67604,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67603,"text":" Yes, yep, yep, yep, that's how you spell it. H-U-X-E. I wanted to make sure, you know, some companies throw a weird letter in this event. H-U-X-E. Hux. It's free. Okay? So I want to make sure I put that out there. At least it's been free for me this whole time. It's a fascinating little app. And what you can do is connect. And the reason why I say specifically Gray is because he was talking about an AI usage for his email. This may not do the whole kabob, but it's pretty cool. You can connect your calendar depending on which service you use. I use Google, but it uses a few other programs too. But I'm able to connect my Google Calendar, my Google Email, and some other things to it. And what it does is it curates a personal list for me. News, weather, checks my email, tells me if I have any appointments coming up. I like to use it in the morning. This morning, of course, I couldn't because of the net. But normally, I've already listened to my little Hux report. And it's really fascinating because it's done in a podcast. So you've got these people talking to you, telling you about your day, you know, what you have going on, you know, what the weather is going to be like. You can add different topics in there. And it will do the research and report back on it. It's really fascinating. It's a really cool little app. I have it on my Android phone. Of course, they have it for Apple. Again, the name is Hux, H-U-X-E. And I thought, man, you would really get a kick out of it. Dale may get a kick out of it. Bill may like it. I've been using it for a while. I want to say a couple of months now. It's really funny because when I first started, it was very bland. I was like, hey, this ain't going to catch on. But they've done so many updates to it. Now it's actually pretty cool. So anyhow, I wanted to put a plug out for that for you, Gray, because you may find it really fascinating. A daily curated report based on your calendar, on your e-mails, the news, the weather, whatever you want it to be based upon. I will go out and gather those sources. I'm not sure if you can actually put in the news sources that you want to have it pull from. You might be able to. Anyhow, take a look at it. Again, one last time, the app's name is Hux, H-U-X-E. So with that, I'm going to pass it to you, Gray. KJ5-I-O-Q passing it over to KC2-PKG."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-24T06:43:58+00:00","id":67605,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67604,"text":" KJ5IRQ this is KC2PKG I'm having a headset problem which is weird I switched over to watch something that Daryl sent me and it lost its mind.

Yes, I was right. Daryl's next. Um, sorry, I'm walking and talking. I've got work going on. I've got this going on. I've got Hungry Dogs going on. This, my mornings are fast and furious. But there is no school. So that's a change. Here's a new change to our life. Here in our town, in our independent school district, for most of the year, they go to school four days a week. Monday through Thursday. In Texas, you have to hit a certain amount of classroom hours, I believe is what it is. And so, to hit that number the first part of the year, they'll go to school for five days a week. But then, in October, they switch to four days a week. And they go to school basically four days a week the rest of the year. So, today is the first Friday that our school district has no school. They use Fridays for staff development, for tutoring, you know, if somebody's falling behind. So, they don't just like get Friday to play. However, at first I was completely against it. But this is the third or the fourth year that they've done it. And to be honest, now I've seen my grandson come home on Thursdays. He's dead to the world. And he used to come home on Friday and just crash out for an hour or two. I'm actually a pretty good fan of four days a week, school weeks. So, there you go. Let's pass it over to Daniel now. V01UKZ, what say you buddy? Next round is the last round. So, you get this round and one more to get whatever you'd like to say out there to the world. Over to you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-24T06:48:02+00:00","id":67607,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67606,"text":" Yeah, thanks Josh. Yeah, I'm still not 100% comfortable with just like linking all my email accounts and calendars, even though my calendar is like nada, it barely exists. I mean I don't look very much. The few jobs that I do get are usually just drop offs and people say I'm going to drop this computer off at this time and blah, blah, blah. So it's not really an issue, right? But I do still feel a little uneasy about linking my accounts with various AIs and different relatively unknown services because in order for them to get information, they need your login. Once you give it to them, then they've got it. And I just think that it opens up pathways for more security vulnerabilities I think than ever. Because if the AI is linked to your account and you decide to change your password, then the AI probably gets your new password because it still had access until you changed it. So the company got the new password, blah, blah, blah. Just not yet for me. I think we're very rapidly building toward an active version of Skynet. And with the government situation in the United States right now the way it is, a lot of these companies are being run from within the American border. And I, quite frankly, don't want to give DJT any personal information about me or any of his crazy associates or anything like that because anything that's on a server, they can demand it at any time, stop their phishing and say, well, we'll shut down your company if you don't give it to us, blah, blah, blah. There's a lot of bullying going on in the United States right now by the highest powers of government. And I don't want to have my information affiliated with that. Even though it's all over Google and Facebook and stuff already, at least their platform has been around for enough years now that I don't feel completely disparaged by them. But we'll see as time goes on, man. That's all I can say. As time goes on, I might feel a little more comfortable with it. Who knows? I guess we'll see. Back over to you, man.

We can drive about an hour, 45 minutes or so to the east that gets us on the outskirts of, well it actually gets us downtown Fort Worth if we push it five more minutes. So anyhow, we can drive and park over there, catch the train from Fort Worth to Dallas. Yes, it's that far away. I mean you know you only hear Dallas-Fort Worth and you think of it like one little town. It's not. Dallas-Fort Worth is huge. Like huge. And so we can take the train from Fort Worth over to Dallas and then we can take an Uber to where we want to go. So she's already planning it out. A Harry Potter exhibit. I've read the books. I really enjoyed the books. I thought they were fun to read. I've seen all the movies but I am not what they call a Potterhead. My wife very much is. So she gets to do stuff like that. Why?

And dogs, well I've had Rottweilers for 40 plus years. I'm on about my fifth one and you know can't live with them, can't live without them but they can make a mess of the house. You know I'm constantly cleaning walls and vacuuming up hair but I wouldn't be without a dog that's for sure. And V01UKZ, I agree I don't do internet banking, I don't do a lot of things. I keep pretty private and do things the old fashioned way and I dread it when we eventually become a cashless society. You know I go into the bank and they say why don't you use our app?

Too big for me to even pull him on a leash. If he wanted to pull, he was going to pull, and that's why I had to eventually give him away. I was out for a walk one day, and I had him on his chain, a big, like a linked chain. As you couldn't put him on a leash, he'd bust those like they were spaghetti strings. But he pulled one day while I was walking, and he jerked my whole body. And I struck my head against a no parking sign and literally went out cold on the side of the truck. And when I came to, that loyal little bugger was sat right next to me. He didn't run off or anything like that. He was sat there guarding me the whole time.

Big strong dogs that's why training is so important. I know somebody recently stepped over a chain that they didn't see blocking an entry to a park. And I think the dog pulled really hard, actually pulled their shoulder right out of the socket. And would have been a pretty painful experience. But yeah 60 kilograms I'd have to get the conversion out to work that out. Big dogs eat a lot but so faithful and so loyal. That's why I've always stuck with the breed. Over to you.

Oh shoot, this truck, I don't like this truck. I like the transmission in this truck. I like my truck. Shoot, alright, so yeah, you talked about the, oh the Harry Potter exhibit. That's what I wanted to comment on. They had that Harry Potter exhibit. I'm not sure if it's the same one. I'm guessing it is. But it was up here in Salt Lake City for a few months. It just left, I think it was last month, like the 26th or something was the last day or 21st. But so I saw the signs for it all the time. So I'm just wondering if it's the same one. And what else? You know the AI, yeah, I just, I don't have a calendar. Well I have a calendar and I got my dentist's appointment put in there for my next one. Some birthdays and stuff like that. But I just get notifications on those. So I'm not sure if I need someone telling me what my day is going to be because I pretty much know what my day is going to be. And the AI tells me what it's going to be. You're going here. You're going there. Well what else? There was on my mail, I'm back up to 7,000 e-mails again. I get back on that. I get started on it. I got so much junk mail coming into this one e-mail account. I do have a couple other mails that are for important stuff. I went up for the cable here, the cord here. I don't have it up yet. But the one e-mail that I've had for forever, an AOL e-mail, I just got so much, you know, when a company asks, hey, you get a 10% discount if you give us your e-mail. And then they e-mail you for the rest of your life and give it out to all their friends. That one, I just get so much junk on it. I keep wanting to go through and clean it up.

Dang, her little pool was about halfway filled up. She has one of those little plastic kiddie pools. My dog does. I'm a blow healer. And I emptied that sucker the other day and it was bone dry yesterday. This morning it is halfway filled up. We got a lot of rain. Huh, okay. I need to check my little thing to see how much rain we actually got. Sorry, I get distracted pretty easily, you know, like a squirrel. But emails. So you're saying how you get so much junk emails and everything. That's a great usage for AI agents. You could set up an AI agent, connect it to your email, and have it clear it out every day or every hour or whatever. Rillow Jean, hush. And I'm going to leave her outside. She's getting a run of it barking at me like that. Full of attitude and sashiness, I tell you. Anyhow, you can use that AI agent to keep your email box clean.

And goodness, because of the fire, guys showed up. So there you go. So yeah, get some rest. We do have one more round. You stick around for that last round and then go get some sleep is what I'm saying. Alright, so that does take us to the bottom of the list. We are now ready to start the 73 rounds. And it ought to go fast, really quick. We got one, two, three, four, five people on the list. So starting at the top with Greg, who usually has something rise to say. So let's send it to KC2 and PKG.

First off, just to reiterate what Gray said, thanks for doing the net, man. It is definitely appreciated. We definitely enjoy having you out here doing it on Fridays. You do a good job, man. Especially someone who is still relatively new into the hobby. Oftentimes people don't dip their toes into doing net control until they've been around for an extremely long time. So you definitely handle it good for sure. And it doesn't go unnoticed. Definitely appreciate it very much. And other than that, we'll catch you all out here tomorrow morning. That's if I get up on time. VH3KKY will be holding down the fort tomorrow. He already volunteered earlier in the week there. So we're still assuming that Kevin is unavailable until we get further notice. KMLX that is. And I hope he's doing good, man. I haven't really heard from him other than a couple of stray messages in a group chat. I haven't really heard of him very much there. So hopefully he's getting through all of this stuff. You know, I know what he's going through to a certain extent. I mean, my mom just passed away a couple of months ago, too. So, you know, it's never good. But his dad, I don't know, is taking it very well or whatnot. But my dad is starting to come around, starting to get back, you know, at least a little bit to his old self. He's having troubles dealing with my niece. Like, we're all having troubles dealing with my niece. But I worry more about that when it comes to that because, you know, it's his granddaughter and he's trying to accommodate. But she's making some rude comments and she's told him off in high style a couple of times now. And myself and my brother as well. And I mean, I try to talk to my sister about her and my sister just says, leave her alone. Don't don't confront her about anything. OK, so when she's leaving her garbage all over the living room up there, she's not picking up like bags from snacks and Pepsi cans are just getting stacked up on tables. And she just doesn't have even the mentality to clean up after herself. And when mom passed away, we all went through the house and cleaned it up really well for dad. And now it's turned into a pit. So. But my sister says, oh, don't talk to her about it. Don't engage about it.

You can't be heard on her Everyone's walking on eggshells around you know the house here, and it's really bad my opinion is She's almost 20 give her a wake-up call make her find an apartment or something She needs a rock bottom wake-up call because right now everything's handed to her And she has no respect for nothing or no one so That's the story up here started off got my head because another freak out last night Apparently my brother was telling me she put the house on rails at like one o'clock in the morning I was lying asleep by em, but very slow my brother Her students wearing no screaming to I was located in Washington absolutely berserk in the middle of the night like zero respect"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-24T07:15:13+00:00","id":67628,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67627,"text":" Zero respect for this house, for her grandfather, for her uncles, or just living with people in general.

You're very engaging in that control and I appreciate that. Not really much going on here today. Just playing around with some AI music creation software. I've been working on a bunch of songs and they're created by AI. We have some more people that play around with the same stuff with AI and music development and voice alteration and stuff like that. So I figured I would try my hand at it. Some of the songs are about ham radio, about do drop in, about various nets. Some of the stuff is going to be about particular characters who check in on the nets. I'm eventually going to put them together in 12 or 13 songs and put them together into an album there that we can download or listen to on Spotify and Apple Music and all that kind of stuff. I have no talent. I'll be straight up with you guys. I have no talent when it comes to singing or writing or any of that stuff. But these new AI models can literally crank out a full song in 60 seconds or less. And that's music, words, vocal alterations, you name it. They do everything from scratch just at the push of a button. I figured I'd play around with it and try my hand at it as well. It seems to be working for other people that play around with that kind of stuff there. So I'll have some songs coming in the very near future. Other than that though, there's not really much going on. I've been playing with some video editing and a bunch of other stuff on the computer. That's been my last couple of days.

It's about 58 now, it's about 55 again when I went outside with the dogs earlier this morning. Just probably going to rain, I'm not really sure. It always says it's going to rain, but where I'm at, kind of going towards the mountains, it never seems to rain much up here. It's always down towards the airport or in the valley. Anyway, yeah, no worries about the men pin. I never had a men pin before, but I was a K9 officer for many, many years. And so I've already gone through, and I've got to say she's done fantastic. I've already gone through everything from boundary training to basic commands. And she really kind of even excels over her brother. And the brother's twice her age, well more than that. He's about one and a half now. He's just very stubborn. He doesn't like to listen no matter what. And male dogs seem to take a little bit longer than female dogs when it comes to training. But I'm not really worried about the men pin. I will leave the gate wide open in the yard during training, and she will just sit there along with the rest of them. They don't go past the property. We're pretty well managed in here where they can't get out anyway. But I will leave the gate open, leave the front door open, do certain things, put treats out, whatever, and see if they come. But they don't come to me unless I call them. So she's done really, really well. And even though I've had many, many dogs and I've trained a lot of dogs, I am quite impressed with her because she really has excelled in everything. She is just a fantastic, fantastic little girl. I was kind of nervous when I got her because I've had other small dogs before. I had a, I can't remember right now, it's too early in the morning, just now starting my cup of coffee. But I've had some really rowdy, smaller dogs in my lifetime that were just uncontrollable. But she is definitely not like that. She fell into the routine with her sisters and her brother really well. And of course the training helps and she's just come along real well. But I can't be happier. I'm actually thinking about getting another dog now. I'm not sure yet. But we'll see what happens when she gets a little bit older. But I am looking at other dogs or whatever. Let me know at the top for a second. K-T-7, J-E, we return. Yeah, I'm actually looking at maybe another Min Pin. She is just the cutest little thing. But I might get another big dog. I'm not sure. Four dogs may be enough though. I have to see. Anyway, not much else going on. Just got my cup of coffee. Sitting here just relaxing. The dogs just had their cookies and treats and now they're just relaxing behind me on the bed. And that's really about it. So I'll turn it back to you there, Roy. Hope all is well. Hope Sue's okay. And of course your little girl as well. Take care, my friend. Everybody have a great day. Good morning to all. And everybody have a great upcoming weekend. Back to you there, Roy. K-T-7, J-O-E, Las Vegas."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-24T07:37:30+00:00","id":67653,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67652,"text":" Good morning everyone.

The call sign is Zulu Lima 4 Sierra Yankee. Zulu 4 is Y and there's a wee shout out to Missy and getting up in front of a class there teaching people. My wife is actually a high school teacher and the first time you do it is the most scary thing you'll ever do in your life. Once you do it a couple of times, it is a fantastic thing to actually pass your knowledge on to other people and more people will get out there and actually get up in front of people and actually pass on your knowledge. Hash off to you there Missy. It's a fantastic thing to actually get out there and actually do something and it's fantastic. Anyway, as far as myself, we're just recovering from a major storm here. I don't think, the regulars aren't in yet but it's one of the biggest windstorms we've ever had down in the South Island here. We were about, I think we recorded 163km an hour which is about 101 in the imperial system that you guys use miles per hour or whatever. It was continuous for about an hour and a half. It was trees, buildings, roofs flying off and all that. But as far as we're concerned, no injuries. We had, I'm in the fire brigade, I'm a station officer here in the local fire brigade. We had 11 calls in a row. By the way, that's the station record for how many calls we had in one day. We've had less than 11 calls in a year before. So let's tell you how small a community we are. We've just got about 250 people in the community here. This is a major event and no injuries. I'm currently portable here at the moment. I'm down in a little town called McLennan. The reason I'm here is they still have a bit of Wi-Fi internet. No power, nothing. I'm running a digital generator and might hear the noise in the background here. But in my area, within about 150 miles, this is the only area that still has Wi-Fi internet. So I just headed down here just to get communications. This is the first time I've actually used HF Windlink in Angkor to actually communicate. My wife's house actually went off to, we got two properties, a bit inland and now on the coast. I was out on the coast at the time and that's where we got totally knocked out. I just sent a message, because I knew inland they still had internet and all that. So I used Windlink to actually send an email to my wife saying that all was fine, I'm so safe. I've been partnering with various exercises and that used Windlink. But this is the first time I actually had to use it in Angkor to help my wife know that I'm safe, because we had no internet, no cell phone, no power, nothing. But yeah, it was pretty cool. But yeah, practice using emergency communications, because sometimes you might need it. Anyway, enough of my waffling, I'll pass it back to Nate.

Anyway, he says good morning to all. Let's see, good to hear everyone there in Bud. I wish I had slept that good, Bud. I had a terrible night, and I've got to go in at noon for about a three-hour heart test. I'm looking forward to it. I want to caution everybody. I just found out the dangers of using Vicks that is too old. I found this in the drawer, and I use the CPAP at night. And I once in a while put a little bit of Vicks just on the outside of my nostrils to help me breathe better. But this was poisonous, rancid, old, and it really came with my lungs. Even the inhaler doesn't seem to help. So I don't know what that's going to do to the heart test today. I'll have to tell them what happened. But anyway, it was very strong, and I had to jump up and wash my face and nose and mask and everything to try to get breathing better and get through the night. So yeah, it's going to be a rough day, I can tell. Anyway, I appreciate some prayers. And I hope to hear from you soon there too, Rosie, and you get feeling better also.

What happened is what the doctor also says is there's a good possibility when my blood pressure goes down, you get dizzy. Yeah, because the system was so used to having high blood pressure and suddenly now you're lowered the proper amount again. So you will find the difference. So that's what is going on with me right now. While I'm on the blood pressure pill and my blood pressure is dropping. So I get dizzy. So I got to be very careful when I get up and move around and whatnot, because that can happen very easily. Does I get dizzy and I can fall whatever else. So there we go. Everyone knows now. 7-3 take care and we're trying to do the best. And yes, I'm still going more tests about my heart attack. They don't know 100 percent if there was or not.

Uh, hopefully it won't be too wet. Um, I'm gonna, I've got a counter poised question, though. Um, I've got a mag mount, uh, Comet 2x4 antenna. And, uh, there's the cookie sheet solution, but I was wondering about something more portable. I was wondering about aluminum window screen that you could roll up and carry around with you, and then when it was time to deploy, you just roll it out flat. You could make it, uh, you know, probably 36 inches wide, which would be about the diameter of the counter poised for two meter. Um, I don't know whether or not screen works as a counter poised. I don't know whether anyone has any suggestions about that. Uh, otherwise I'm just, uh, leaning against a windowsill looking at a trippy day. It's actually gorgeous out there. Um, back to net.

If you happen to be there by the way and you take pictures, maybe post them on the PSRG discussion group page on Facebook. That would be cool. One of those as heard on the net type things. That's always cool. All right, and as far as that, you know, you mentioned, so a mag mount is not going to stick to an aluminum mesh rolled out anyway. I don't know if that's the right solution on that one. I've used the cookie, by the way, I did the net from my house in Kirkland with an antenna on a cookie sheet for years. And it worked great. I'm a big believer in cookie sheets. So it does do the trick. And 2 meters is a lot, and 440 especially, even more so with 440, is a lot more forgiving when it comes to counter poised type things like that. So yeah, I'm also a fan of the J-Pole, John J-Pole's K9 JEB. When he made those he made hundreds of those J-Poles. And I used to buy them and give them to friends because they're so fantastic.

Well Ron, aluminum is a great ground plane. It's not a counterpoint, it's more of a ground plane. I don't think the mag mount ties to the steel as electronically. I have an HF antenna I put on my trailer hitch in my truck. And it stands up to 31 feet. It's one of those things that pipes that screw together, they go up. And it uses my truck as a ground plane, it clips to it. And my truck's all aluminum and it is fantastic. Aluminum is a great conductor, a great ground plane. But you're right, the mag mount won't stick to it. So it's not so much a ground plane. Counterpoise is a ground plane to give your thing work. On my house, on my garden shed, I have my 2-meter antenna. That's just GP9. The base of it is touching the steel roof of the garden shed. And the only part of the garden shed is steel. And it works as a ground plane. I have a great signal on 2 meters, especially going the rough points north. And I think that's one of the reasons why. Anyway, that's my comments. Hope they're right. Don't know. And we're amateur in Canada, not radio anymore. Thanks Ron with scale for 7 Alpha Delta. And of course if you have the ability to change directionality, nothing works better than a nice Yagi antenna. I remember K7 LWA who used to be in this time slot, God bless, rest his soul. His wife Shelly made a wonderful helm brood Yagi that they had attached to their antenna there in the south end of Seattle. And it was vertically polarized so it would hit this repeated grid. Holy cow, it worked great. And he would run the net from an HT in his house. You know, and it worked quite well. Anyway, again, amateur antenna. That's what we do. Robert Michael, thanks.

I hear a signal, and I turn the other one, and I point it at where I want to go. And I have a switch, and I switch back to the YAGI, the L-Log periodic. And if you look at my QRZ page, I'm on a beach just east of swim a little ways. And I got both the PSRG and the Lake Washington Ham Club repeaters. But the signal is so directional, if I turn the L, even 5 degrees, I would lose it. But I could check in from there. So both those antennas work great.

So I am guessing that although we had a nice long summer and a nice fall up to yesterday with quite a bit of dry weather and very little rain where we had a drought declared, I think the drought is probably about officially over because we've got rain coming down and forecast for a few days here. Let's see, other than that, I have not got bad. It is cloudy and a little wet, and that is fine with me. So anyway, I hope everyone gets out there, regardless of the weather.

And let's put it this way, I had a wife who was absolutely paranoid for me to learn flying. When I came back home all I said to her was, hey I did 10 take offs and landings. She said great. And then she stepped out of the room and my son Noah who is a pilot and that was five months ago, I said to him, so with all the things you can do bad in flying for landing, let's see you can do ballooning, you can do porpoising, you can land off center, you can have a hard landing. Yep, I did all of those. And I've done so well up until this point my CFI, he told me, he told me I'm proceeding very fast and very rapidly and picking everything up. And I said to him, well I guess we know where your star student needs work now don't we, because it's going to be the landings. The landings are the worst, take offs are easy. But oh boy, I was like, oh I only greased one of the landings. It was the 9th landing out of 10. And as we were taking off and going back up for the, you know, get back into the pattern, I said to Jeremiah, my director, wow, I hope number 10 can live up to number 9. It didn't. So anyway, there you go. The flight fun with Ron learning his stuff. So next time we go up we're going to work on, I think we're going to go over to slow speed first and work on what it feels like to come down slow with flaps out and minimal speed and work on doing that and then come back to the airport and do some landings. I think that's the plan. Anyway, I digress. Okay. That's my little report. Larry was an I.O. Thanks for stopping by KB6VAA. This is the 9 o'clock net.

As we were coming off the highway there on 65th, and I think it's 8th, there's this little Mediterranean place. It has a bunch of neon signs. It's very small. I think it's Bus Stop Cafe or something. I forget the name of the ... I guess there's two of them, a kind of micro chain. Anyway, we went in there and he got his gyro and I got some soup. As he was eating it, he kept saying, wow, wow. I guess that means it was kind of good. I figured since this crew generally likes to share information on restaurants, I would let you know. I know the prices weren't bad either. I got lentil soup. It's a thin soup with cilantro. I found it delicious. That's my tip for the day. We also got some ... They sell halwa, which actually turns out to be marshmallow root actually.

So I've also done emergency landings, that's fun. Where just randomly we're flying out over the practice area and he shuts the, pulls the engine back to idle which simulates an engine failure. And then you set for best glide, you look for a place to land, you run your checklist, you go left to right on all the instruments and things that you could possibly change and then if nothing comes back to life you set yourself up for a good landing, get the flaps out, try to land as low as possible on a country road or whatever. Anyway, I've done that a few times too. And he also said, well you get that about as I, I had it lined up on the road 500 feet above and he adds the power back and he says, well that was about as good as that possibly could have gone. So anyway, yeah I've done some of those too. Back to the landings, I really need to work on the landings, especially the round out at the end. I just need to get that smooth.

If your company does that, who you work for, you might want to chime on in because Puget Sound Repeater Group is a 501C3 Corporation that you can donate to. And Mike, I did that and my wonderful company I work for at Costco, Matt did a matching donation for that so it kind of doubles the money. I like giving that, giving to a worthy cause right here at the airwaves. You can donate right on the PSRG page as well and that is always appreciated.

Everything happens inside the browser, no external or internal things revealed from your material or your files or anything like that.

I mean after all we had a really really nice dry summer and a really pretty dry fall up until today but we need the rain so I think we can say the drought is officially over. I was just reading an article in IEEE Spectrum, the electronics journal about this school on the east coast, these guys came out of there with a great idea for improving weather forecasting and it's based on the type of weather balloons they've developed. Typical weather balloons are dropped by planes over a storm and they stay in the, they drop drone type things down through the atmosphere that, you know, pressure and temperature and wind speed and all that as they're dropping. And then they've got weather balloons that typically only stay aloft for a few hours. These guys have developed a balloon that will stay aloft for days and weeks. The longest one they've had up in the air so far is 108 days. And they've got hundreds of balloons, 300 balloons that loft at a time. And anyway, they've also developed an AI system to control things controlled through satellites and the data from satellites goes to this system and is much more accurate at predicting weather with finer detail and more resolution than other systems like used by the National Weather System or anywhere else in the world. So anyway, the name of the place is Weatherborne B-O-R-N-E. B-O-R-N-E, B-O, hang on here, I'm not going to screw this up. B-O-R-N-E, yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, really encouraging about the answers coming along with weather forecasting and that whole type of thing with the help of the government support. And anyway, today is a beautiful day.

Alright, well it says here, now this is curious because I love how things are triggered when we have people check on the net and they mention this, they mention that and I start looking things up and then it really makes you think about this. 75,000 balloons are released annually with only 20% of the accompanying instruments the radio songs ever recovered. That leaves 80% to become environmental waste. Now, I'll give you the fact that the balloons are saving lives. Being able to predict the weather and all that of course is just, you have to do it.

I think you guys are starting to share your weather with us and we're supposed to have nothing but rain. So, Pam wants to take her Mustang out for one last time and I think we're going to breakfast. I know, it's 1230, but you know, it's never too late for breakfast. I'm thinking French toast. But back to food, you know, talking about the eggnog, you know, International Delight and other manufacturers used to make Irish cream coffee creamer, but it disappeared from the face of the earth. I couldn't find it anywhere. So, takeaway was the last one to carry it under their Lucerne brand. They don't carry it in restaurants anymore and those little cups you get at your table that you pour into your coffee, just it disappeared and that was my favorite coffee creamer. Well, lo and behold, the other day here yesterday, I opened up the front door and there's a box of eight containers of Irish cream International Delight coffee creamer. It seems that a mystery shopper in our house found it somewhere and had it shipped to our address. So, I got a lifetime supply of coffee creamer. So, Pam says, well, I'm hoping you can freeze it. So, I wonder with eggnog and like coffee creamer, you know, I'm going to hold two of those containers out. Two of those big containers will last me a while. And the other six, well, I'm going to put them in the freezer and we will see what happens in a few months when I pull one out and defrost it. Is it the same thing? Will I still enjoy it? Will it separate? Well, it's not really a creamer. So, I'm sure it will be fine. But I'll let you know how that experiment goes and I will be freezing it, Jack.

Anyways, I'm here working from home today. I mentioned earlier that I was having some battery issues on the earlier net I believe. I realized that one of the two of my pair of lithium ion 10 amp cells failed. They were some cheap, I guess battery outlet, I think that's where I buy them online. I bought them online way back when to upgrade from my lead acid used batteries I had from out of UPS's that I replaced. They both worked for a good long while but I'm down to a single 10 amp battery and that's not going to cut it for very long. So I jumped online on Amazon too and bought a 150 amp battery much like the one on this back of my van. This one had a Bluetooth battery monitor on it which I'm not really sure, I'm stoked about that. But it was more expensive to buy the one that's like mine that was the metal case that didn't have the battery monitor that was still the same as the 50 amp. I was like why spend 10-15 dollars more to not get the battery monitor right. Anyways, that's kind of what I'm doing here working from home doing that stuff. Making some slight modifications to my game as I pushed it up to Reddit and told some people out there about it. They gave me a couple ideas and some pointers that I want to change. I'm just finding little bugs here and there, just little display bugs. All these little things that I'm just finding there that I'm trying to fix and improve. Especially a lot of UI issues, that's just what I realized. Those are all the tweaks that are always fun to fix. I'm trying to fix the issue right now where when it makes a contract on a server it's supposed to put a little dollar sign on it. When the contract goes away it's supposed to disappear and it's not disappearing, it's not refreshing. That's my bug I'm trying to solve right now. Anyways, that's what I'm doing right now. Hopefully I'll see you guys all out there tomorrow or so. I guess there's a Huskies game that will complicate life I guess, but we'll see how I get out there. Maybe I'll pick the light rail, maybe I won't, we'll see. Anyways, rainy weekend everyone. Have a good weekend. All the good stuff and 7-year-age and good days. Yeah, whatever.

We'll see how it works out and who stands, because we're building a bubble. One way or the other, we're building a bubble. And it's not like a lot of other bubbles, I think. I don't think we're building an infrastructure bubble. We're building a something else bubble. But yeah, at least that's how I feel like. You can't really reuse older technology when it's 5, 10 years away. Chips don't last that long when you're building data centers or that's what they're building. Anyways, there's my ramble about that. No, I haven't used it. I might be interested in using it down the road. Google's putting their AIs into their browsers. I kind of avoid all that type of stuff.

But anyway, well, you just mentioned something else that sparked a little thing that I saw the other day for areas that don't have internet. The Wikipedia and Wikimedia Foundation has released a box that's basically internet in a box. Now it's not everything for the internet, but it's for places that are just so far out there that don't have access to the internet and the browsable information. And it's a little Raspberry Pi box, and it's totally loaded down with all kinds of information for people that don't have access to information like that. And you can just use it on a local Wi-Fi network, and it's called internet in a box. And the client, well the box itself, I think has a little bit of shipping, but the Foundation, when they get them back in stock, will be shipping them for $58. And I'd really like to get one and send one somewhere where they can use that. So anyway, that was a really interesting project. Alright Mike, you have a great afternoon. Hope to see you tomorrow. That's going to be a lot of fun, regardless of rain. We're used to that anyway. Alright, Marvin dropped by. Thank you very much, Marvin. We're going to begin the current time, 12.41 PM.

Years ago when I went up for a visit, my aunt and uncle had been there previous and thought I would enjoy that and I did and it was before I was a ham. So I'd like to go back there at some point and I'd have a little more appreciation for the radios and stuff they had there but it was pretty cool seeing the guy do his demonstration with the big Tesla coil and all that. And as meaning to you, next time I go up there, if I know I'm going to that museum, bring them a couple of glass insulators to add to a display somewhere there. I don't think I saw any when I was there and I felt like that was sorely lacking and I have a few from my collection here that I would be happy to donate to somebody. So short answer, yes I have been there. KJ7SXR. Alright, yes, fantastic museum. Alright well and I asked somebody down at the Connexions Museum down in Georgetown about how much stuff they have because they get so many things donated over the years and the answer was we have so much in storage, you cannot believe it. And the place is packed with equipment. It's not like they have a table over here, there's two items on it and over here there's another table. I mean the place is just packed. And they said oh yeah, we have way more than this. Oh boy and of course I asked them about tubes and they said don't even ask about tubes. Every tube ever manufactured times ten.

But anyway, I didn't mean to barge in, you know, if you were calling someone else. But anyway, here I am. Critter Report. Riga had her last vet visit yesterday and is now fully vaccinated. She weighs 28 pounds and is now four months old. So, she's doing really well. Cairo's doing really well. They are continuing to play together. Sometimes we have to pull them apart, but it's all good. And they, for the most part, sit together and look for each other. And it's just wonderful. Just a great thing. We had last weekend a beautiful ATV ride through the main foliage. And then earlier this week, we had rain and wind and almost all of our leaves are down. And it's kind of bare around here now. And that usually happens, unfortunately. But it was great while it lasted, even though the conditions are really dry. And with that, I'm going to, I can't think of anything else right now. I'm going to turn it back to you, Graham.

Great to hear from you, sir, and it was great to know that you had a good ATV ride out last weekend. I do believe you had to share a vehicle with some friends of yours because yours was in the shop getting some repairs. So maybe you could let us know if that's all done as well. Because I think you did say you use it over the winter months for doing some snow plowing in different bits and pieces. You could maybe kind of clarify that, but no problem. But I hope you've got your own ATV back home or if it's still in the shop, you can let us know. And good to hear the critter report. We love our critter reports here. Very nice to hear about Riga there. And Riga, of course, just a few weeks younger than our puppy, Odin, here, who's doing amazingly well. And we especially have to say, Paul, we had a wee trip into the breeder that we got Odin from. And her husband is a very well-known and respected dog trainer. He does police dogs and sniffer dogs and dogs of all different types and everything else, as well as just helping people train their dogs for a nice kind of family purpose and everything else, just to be a nice family dog. And we've been at several classes of puppy training. And when we went there on Wednesday evening, he said to us, you have to reset things. We said, what does reset mean? He said, forget everything you've been taught. And we spent two hours with him, Paul, and honestly, since Wednesday evening, well, since yesterday morning, we've put in place the things that he was telling us. And they all make sense. And honestly, Odin, yesterday and today, has been like a different dog. He's, you know, he's, you know, yeah, so I mean, I could go into an awful lot more detail, but we just take far too much time. But I have to say, it was a wonderful, wonderful visit. So we really appreciated that. And so there we go. Let me throw it back to you. How's your ATV? Have you got it back from the repair shop there, Paul?

I got the ATV back today and it's still sitting on the trailer and we are going to be, I didn't unload it because we're going to go riding tomorrow and we are going to have to transport it to a parking area near the trails. So that might be our last ride because most of the trails close November 1st and then our hunting season starts and they are used a lot for that kind of thing. So we are going to enjoy tomorrow and it's supposed to be a pretty good day and we will go with friends again. I always like to go with another one in case we end up like we did before. And so that will be fun. And then I'll unload it and put it back in the garage and get it ready for snow plowing and we'll go from there. And yes, the puppy training. We are continuing with that but my wife Sandra is looking at trying to do some training to get this dog to be a certified therapy dog. She works in a skilled care facility and there are therapy dogs that come in all the time there and the patients and residents really like it. And so she would like to be able to do that and take the dog to work once a week or once every other week at least a part of the day. So that's our goal and I think it will benefit because we'll have a well-behaved dog out of it eventually. So that's our plan. Anyway, back to you Graham.

We're excited to see, myself and Helen, we've always rescued dogs and things. Some of them had various issues and you had to watch just maybe where you took them, what you exposed them to, whether it may be a little bit reactive to certain things. We didn't mind that. We molded our lives into the dog. We've done that for so, so many years. This time around, this is the first time we've got our own puppy and we're hoping that we don't make too many mistakes and that Oden can just fit in with our lifestyle and just come with us for everything we do. So far, so good. He's young. He's got a lot of maturing to do, but he is just only five months, nearly six months, maybe six months next week, actually next weekend. So yes, six months next week. It's going to be Halloween, so we all have to get dressed up for the net next week. And it's a six-month birthday party for Oden as well. So there we go. Anyway, Paul, thank you, thank you so much. And you take care. And when you're talking about your ATV there and the seat belt and the goggles and everything else, I'm thinking we need to see that. If you have access to our International Radio Network Facebook page at some point for observing, you've got the time, it would be great to see a picture of Vega there all set up on the ATV. That would be fantastic. So good stuff. In fact, Helen did post up some Halloween pictures of Oden on our International Radio Network Facebook page today folks. So go ahead and check that out. So good stuff. Anyway Paul, 73 to you sir. And like I say, give all the whole family there a wee Scottish squeeze. That would be amazing. I look forward to speaking to you again very soon. Take care sir. Have a great weekend. And say 73 to KC1 VQS. And say a big hello to 2WhiskeyZero Kilo Yankee Hotel. It's Declan who normally doesn't have to wait to come onto the net, but today he has because he's only, only got a silver medal. But there's been a rare thing in his collection.

Well, yeah, thank you very much, Graham, and hello. And hello to everyone else on the net today. First of all, I just want to say about the whole gold versus silver thing, I think at this point getting a silver rather than a gold might be a benefit for me, because with all the gold I'm getting, I think I might cause hyperinflation in some random country somewhere. So if I do, then the gold wouldn't exactly be the most useful thing, would it? So then I fall back on silver, which becomes more valuable in turn. Well, I do have a reason for getting my silver, and this is not an excuse at all towards Paul. I want to absolutely congratulate Paul, KV1 VQS there. That was probably one of the most tightly contested first round pilots I've had in a while. I don't really deserve that one there, Paul. And thank you very much for giving me a good challenge. Although, I'm not making excuses, it just so happens that this has come also at the same time as I'm not really feeling 100% today in terms of like physically. I feel like I'm starting to come down with a bit of a cold here, which is a bit unfortunate. And it's poorly timed as well because I'm off on half term. Well, I'm not sure whether it's poorly timed or whether I could say it's well timed, because it means I have the week to recover. But it also means that I can't really relax all too much on the week off because I'm focused on dealing with being sort of ill to an extent. So, yeah, I feel like Dave GWA, SNL, of us three had it first and has passed it around to the two of us there, my mum and myself. But thankfully, Sue, MW7, SDI seems to be coming out the other end as a sort of part of illness with this sort of cold whatever it is. But, yeah, so not exactly feeling 100%. I mean, I'm not feeling awful, but I'm feeling decent, I guess.

Um, and on the topic of school, it's been, uh, it's been an alright week this week actually. I haven't really been at it too much. Um, oh wait, there's one thing that I haven't even told, um, my parents yet because it hasn't come up in conversation. Um, I had a chemistry test result earlier on this week, um, and the test itself was out of 27 marks. And on that test, I picked up 22 out of 27. So, um, pretty happy with that. Um, because considering, uh, the day before the exam, I was, um, sort of, not exam, test, I was thinking to myself, I have revised for this. I need to do a bit of revision and have a little look over, um, all the things we've done. But it turns out a lot of the stuff that we did in that topic that ended up coming up on the test, um, I had a pretty good grasp on. Um, so I did pretty well in the test regardless. Um, definitely top tip, um, I don't know if this would be directed at anyone, but revision is key, of course. And I know that. Um, but I was, um, busy with other things, uh, within school as well at the same time. Uh, that meant that I, uh, couldn't particularly spend all too much time revising for, uh, tests. So, that's my reasoning for that. But I don't need a reason because I did well on the test anyway. Um, aside from that, the week has been, uh, pretty good. And, uh, even, yeah, even aside from that, the weekend, uh, the week has been pretty good. And, uh, happy to make it to Friday, happy to make it to the weekend. And as I alluded to before, happy to make it to the, uh, half term break. Uh, now I have one week off of school, um, which will help me to sort of recover, um, maybe sort of physically and mentally, uh, from the toll that's been the last eight weeks.

And I've been there, and so has Helen, quite recently as well. And hey, listen, that kind of coming into the winter, bugs and all the rest, these things do happen. But I really hope it doesn't spoil your week off. I don't mean a wee cough. I mean a week off. Of course, here in Scotland, we have to be very careful when we say that. So yes, hopefully you don't develop a week off. But to enjoy your... Anyway, I'm not going to expand on that any further. But Dackel, I really do hope that you don't have to spend your week's holiday there having to recover from any of the things. Hopefully it doesn't come to too much. So drink plenty of fluids and keep warm. And hopefully it'll pass away and you can have a nice week and get out and about and do some stuff. So there we go.

That's very good. Good job there, Dackel. And chemistry was the science, the element of science that I kind of really kind of struggled with. You know, did okay, but it was the one that I found the most difficult in physics, biology, all much better. And of course, I ended up going and doing a Bachelor of Science degree. But the chemistry aspect of it really struggled. So I kind of made it and ended up with psychology and biology. So there we go. But I kind of avoided chemistry as much as I possibly could. But there we go. Very good. Well done. And so like I say, I hope it's going to be okay for your week of holiday there. And of course, the schools up here, we have different term times and everything else in Scotland. We had two weeks off the schools, the local schools here had two weeks off. And indeed, that's them finished. So on Monday, they'll be returning to school just when you guys are going off for your one week off. So there we go.

Which will hopefully give me a little bit of time to recover from this week off and the sort of bugs that I feel like I'm starting to develop. I hope it doesn't really come to much but at the moment all that's really, just to elaborate a little bit more on this bug itself. At the moment for me all that's really affecting is I've got a runny nose and I have like a sort of strange feeling in my ears but that could also be linked to the fact that I recently got a new pair of earbuds earlier this week and I've been wearing them quite frequently. So that could be the reason for a strange sensation in my ears because I might not be particularly used to wearing earbuds having worn headphones a lot more often than I had worn earphones at this point. So that's probably why, although it could also be a part of the bug that I've got at the moment. But I'm not sure because of the multiple sort of variables I'm not sure which it could be. It might even be a combination of both, who knows. And still a little bit of a cough but it's not too bad and it's not really all the time which is good. Hoping that it doesn't get any worse but I have a feeling that it might. I am hoping not but you never know really and especially with these winter bugs. And it feels like for me it always tends to come around this time of year which is a bit unfortunate but also works out pretty well because it means that when I'm falling ill most of the time, most of the times I fall ill I should say for better phrasing. Yeah most of the times I'm falling ill it's not really causing me to miss any school at all. Even though, even when I am a little bit under the weather during term time I do try to soldier on through and go in with appropriate safety measures.

Well, you know you were there, but there were just so many people, just kind of a wall of sound, so I do apologize. So you've missed the podium today there, Scott, but hey, I hope you'll try again. KY4MB, this is GM0UUB Scott. Welcome, sir. Happy Friday, and the mic is all yours."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-24T13:47:38+00:00","id":67930,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":67929,"text":" GM0UB, MM7HGS, KY4MB and Robbie Ray. Hi there, Graham. Well, all I can say is I had been talking for a bit and then I heard the first caller and then I heard Declan and then another one and brother Randall and Randall heard me first as well. So yikes, I really, really was fast on the draw today and sad to say you couldn't hear me, Graham. I'm deflated here, I really am, because I never do that, but I thought, you know what, I can get this on All Star and I was quick on the draw and then nobody heard me. But hey, that's amateur radio, that's why we have so much fun. Although I'm gun shy now, because I'm scared to try again, right? May not, I don't know, I don't know if I can handle that. Rejection. Okay, now that I've ragged you too much there, Graham, we're doing good in Memphis, it's in the 60s, nice enough out there, a little on the cooler side and got off work early and had a little bit of food, not much, we're still looking for something to eat. And so that's what's happening here, Graham, and looking toward a good weekend with a little bit of rain here. We're glad puppy Odin's doing well and the other gentleman's pups there and Robbie Ray, we still need a pup here, she's been looking at some. Let me turn it back to you, Graham, and then we can get Robbie Ray chatting, y'all hear me too much all the time.

Scott, it's always a pleasure, sir. And hey, listen, no, I have to say, I know you were just kind of rubbing there, but have, no, definitely, definitely, try again, try again. You'll definitely get up there. So yeah, that was a kind of close one today. There were so, so many at the very beginning, and you all kind of drowned out each other, so it was really difficult to pick up anyone. But I heard Keo Charlie quite clear. Then I heard 2Whiskey, but it was so, so difficult. It really was. Oh, man. And of course, the latency effect. I think, honestly, I've heard it in Alaska more than Ned. We've talked about this, but Ned controllers, I've heard the G1DTV. Irene often talking about what she hears on Ned Mogar, or sorry, on All Star, on this side of the pond is very different to what others are hearing on All Star on your side of the pond. So that's just a kind of latency effect and everything else. It's just, honestly, even on All Star, it does have a little bit of a difference, so good stuff. Anyways, all good fun, all good fun. There's a Ned I try and check into every day, and it's absolute chaos in all the local repeaters and everything else are there. So on All Star, you have to wait for it to unkey before you can key up, and there's no chance. So I've been using the IRN TeamSpeak 3, which is full duplex, to try and get myself in there into single figures at least. And last night I managed to \u2013 there we go. It's all good fun. It's amateur radio, and we just have good fun with it. Anyway, so keep on trying there, Scott. I know you will. Please keep on trying. Great to know that Robbie Ray is there. Hi, Robbie Ray. Hey, listen. You've spoken a little bit about it before, but you actually said the statement, looking at pups. So does that mean you've made the decision to go and actually seek and get hold of another four-legged critter in your household there? That would be amazing. Hey, listen. No four-legged critter could have a better household and family than you guys, for sure. Anyway, back to you, Scott. Say KY4NB. It says GM0GB net control for IDENT.

Anyway, we have to get our passports in order, which we don't have in order. So Scott's has expired and I never have had one, really. So no, we don't, unless, I don't know, every now and then I go and I start looking again for dogs. We don't have one, but I did find one four hours away. But then the lady called me and the dog right now has been treated for heartworms. But it's a sweetest looking thing. It's a part English Setter and part something else, another bird dog. And when I was about four years old, we had an English Setter, which is such a sweet, beautiful dog. Anyway, but I just want to say hi. We haven't talked to you all in a while. I don't know where we've been, but we went out last night, heard some music at two different venues and I had a good time. So it was good to get out and talk to some people and everybody was very friendly and it was good and the music was good. So I just wanted to say hi to y'all and kiss the dog for us. I hope he's doing good. Hadn't chewed up any shoes yet or has he? Back to Scott. Back over to you, Graham and Queen Helen. Hi to the Queen. We love y'all.

And meeting up with one of the other regional hams here that keeps track of the repeaters on our Seabridge DMR system up here. And I think he's going to give me a whole bunch of vinyl records so that'll increase my relatively new record collection. So needless to say I'll be quite busy getting that delicious vinyl. So there we go. With that, send it back to Net Control. By the way, Graham, thank you for checking in last night on EPA Cross Mode there on 31425. Good to hear you last night. I know kind of late for you with those nets that I run here in the evening, but it's always nice to hear you in there from across the pond. Back over to Net Control, KB3 GPX. Well, very good, Mike. Hey, listen, it was a pleasure to check into the net last night, but I don't think everybody was hearing everybody else. I don't even know if Net Control was actually hearing me. I don't know if you're relaying to him that I checked in and said something. I'm not too sure, but yeah. I think if it is a Wednesday night as well, there's something and whenever I make the connection there, it seems to be much better. Everything kind of works quite smoothly. But if I use the YSF to DMR connections, I could hear everybody, but I don't think everybody could hear me. I don't think everybody could hear others as well. So hey, listen, digital. Honestly, Mike, I mean, I love operating digital DMR and the YSF C4FM and everything. I really do, but it still confuses me so much. All the various kind of things that can happen, the various configurations, things work, things don't work, things time out, things... Hey, listen, it's so, so confusing at times, but I still enjoy just filing up the digital hotspot and doing my best. I've got a couple of local repeaters that are connected to digital as well. And we try working through them from time to time, sometimes successfully, sometimes not. But it's always good fun. It's amateur radio. We're trying to make connections, and when you do, you just celebrate it. That's absolutely wonderful. So anyway, thank you so much, Mike. And the Handfest tomorrow, well, I hope you have a fantastic day. Now, going by a conversation earlier, I might be wrong, but there's also the SCEU Worldwide SSB contest, SSB leg this weekend. Maybe not that wrong, maybe picked it up wrong, but is that all kind of bad timing? If you've got a Handfest at the same weekend when there's the SCEU Worldwide SSB contest, maybe I got that wrong. I'm not too sure. I'm just going by a conversation earlier. But anyway, Mike, it's always a pleasure to hear from you, sir. And you're sounding great coming through from Zillow and there on the ZMR side of things. So that's absolutely wonderful. KB3GPX and Mike, if you care to share about anything else that you operate on there in Pennsylvania, the way in which people could connect, please feel free. No problem at all.

Yeah, don't worry. Graham on that. Just quick on the regional DMRC bridge system. There are some channels that tie into Brandmeister, obviously. One being Pennsylvania Statewide 3142 and as such. But typically the system will not pull any Brandmeister stations from outside of the US. I think it's just configured that way. It could also be a Brandmeister thing. I'm not entirely sure. But typically when I run the net I'm listening on an interstate repeater and also the hotspot. So I pretty much hear everything on the hotspot because there's really no limitations there to my knowledge. So yeah, on the Maryland one last night I think he had checked in on that as well. Curly, KC3EWN was in the command chair and he was initially listening on interstate but he wasn't getting half the stations because they weren't coming through on the repeater. I was listening on both as I was logging and Curly says, wow, are you getting all these stations on that log? So I texted back, you got to listen on both systems. So he eventually did and he was okay on that. So just kind of a quirk between the two technologies there. Yeah, that contest is this weekend. There's another station I talked to last night that's going to try to do that. His voice is a little rough. Hopefully he won't overdo it there. And I guess that's all from here.

It actually does make sense. But it's a strange experience. I've found it in a few kind of digital places as well. We've got a local radio station here, and one of the DJs is an amateur radio operator. It's Logholmant Radio. It's a great place to be. You can actually just go onto Google, or your preferred platform, search for Logholmant Radio. You can get the app and everything else and listen to them. But there's an amateur radio operator who's a DJ from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. UK time every Saturday, and then he does a net at 8 p.m. on the Sunday. It's fantastic. The net is tired from DMR as well. I was trying to talk to him, get checked, and I could hear them all very, very clearly, everything else, but nothing was happening. So I found out first the All-Stars. They did have an All-Star connection, and so that's fine. So I now all set up in the All-Star connection to get there. But for some reason, when I was through a D.V. Scotland repeater, it was just one way. I could hear them, but they couldn't hear me. So these things happen. Honestly, it beats me at times. If I try and think about it too much, Mike, I just get a headache. Anyway, Mike, thank you. Thank you so much.

Probably going to get on HF tomorrow. And it was cold here this morning. They're getting close to freezing. I'll tell you, it was below 40 Fahrenheit. It was like 38, 37 or 38 at 6 a.m. So that's only about, you know, four, five degrees, I guess, from freezing. So, oldest night we've had this year. Well, since probably February or March, I don't know. Other than that, not a whole lot happening. Trying out a new Radtel radio that arrived today, the Radtel RT950. I'm not on it now. I'm on else. But I got this analog RT950 Pro that I just took off the charger. I'm going to be playing with that tonight. See if I can figure that thing out. I'll give it back to you, Graham, back to net control. Oh, you mentioned Machardist earlier. Yep, that's the word. That's the mashup of machinist and artist. I'm surprised you remembered that one. Yeah, you had it right, Machardist. So I'll give this back to net control from N9KGC. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November, Quebec, November. All-star... Well, thank you so much, V. And thanks for reassuring me that it didn't kind of cause any offense. Machardist. There we go. Yeah, machinist and artist, a kind of couple of that. So that's great. So I got it right. As soon as I said it, I thought, hey, listen, am I saying something that may sound offensive? There you go. Sometimes I get so paranoid. I really do. Am I offending anybody? But anyway, thank you. Thank you so much. And lovely to hear your phrase there. You're done for the day and home for the night. And that's absolutely wonderful, especially on a Friday as I start to the weekend. Everybody should be at least done for the week and home for the weekend at least, at least, at least. So good stuff. Thank you so much, V. And did the Vactel, I think you said the 950 Pro. I was actually looking at that. And it's got quite a big receive range there, shortwave and everything else, including SSB and CW, I believe. But one of the reviews I saw was like it was quite deaf. It was quite deaf on shortwave. And was it the 880 or the, well, anyway, the 800 and something. It was better for receive and shortwave. But of course, you can't transmit using SSB or anything else. But anyway, it's a fantastic way that these companies are bringing out all these various radios with all the different possibilities and for receive capabilities, sometimes transmit capabilities as well. It's actually quite exciting. And they don't cost too much. And so, you know, it's quite amazing. And, you know, thanks to people like yourself, I know you could help some reviews and everything else. So we do kind of learn about things before we go and spend our pennies. So thanks for that V. And that's absolutely wonderful. So there we go. I had something else to say as well, but I've forgotten all about it. So I'll throw back to you for any final comments on that. But all these new radios with all the fancy things they can do, receive capabilities, everything else is good to experiment.

You think about it compared to what we had a long time ago, the advances have been just amazing. And yeah, this 950, you know I've seen some reviews that said the receive was pretty bad. I think it might be more, I don't know for sure, like I said I haven't done anything with it yet. But I think the antenna has got to be a huge limiting factor. Although that 880, I've heard the same thing. Some people said that the HS or shortwave area receive was better. But then I've seen some videos where they said it receives fine. So I don't know. It could be hit or miss, you know, a quality control thing. I don't know. Different firmware. I noticed this one, they shipped me with the latest firmware on it. So there's no firmware update for me to do. Not yet anyway. I don't know if that made a difference on some of them. I really don't know. It's an unusual radio, no doubt. It's kind of a little weird. I only had it on a couple of minutes. I don't know anything about it. The little owner's manual that comes with it is, well, it's lacking quite a bit we'll say. It's almost useless. I don't want to sound too negative, but very little documentation. But I think I'll figure it out. Once I get familiar with it, I may possibly do a YouTube video on this radio also, maybe. But I'm looking forward to someday when we have something like that Ragtail 950 that can transmit everywhere it receives and also happens to run Android, I can run Echo Link and TV Switch and Zello and stuff like that on it. Boy, that would be the ultimate device, wouldn't it? That's probably not going to happen. But hey, you never know. We'll see. Other than that, like I say, Graham, not much happening here. So I will give this back to you. I'm going to be working half a day tomorrow. Even though I plan to get on HS, I am going to be working in the shop just a couple hours in the morning. I have a part to ship on Monday. I didn't quite get it finished today. I could have stayed, I could have worked later and had it done, but I'm just going to work tomorrow a little bit. And that's about it for this weekend. So back over to you, Graham.

And hey, listen, you know the possibility of having even just a handheld device that maybe the first one will be a bit bigger, but hey, you just never know, a handheld device that can accomplish all the things you see, all the things that it can receive. You can also turn the bit on and everything else. But you know, I think it's maybe a little bit of distance off, but honestly, the way things are kind of advancing, of course, especially when you're transmitting and everything else, you know, all the filters that are required for stopping all the kind of harmonics and transmitting on frequencies you don't want and all the rest, it takes quite a lot of hardware to kind of do that properly. So on a handheld device, it's not maybe the first thing that's going to happen, but yeah, you know, honestly, I don't think it's too far away. I really don't think it's too far away. And of course, components and everything else are going to get smaller and smaller. So there we go. And of course, when that happens, when things go wrong, there's no way of being able to fix them yourself. You just have to rely on other people, companies going to change out boards and change out this and change out that. There we go. Anyway, Lee, thank you, thank you so much. And I always enjoy hearing from you about various things you're kind of exploring and investigating. And like I say, I was looking at that Vattel A950 Pro just a few days ago.

So from the 1200 UTC on Wednesday, I think it's a Wednesday, the 31st of December, to 1200 UTC Thursday, the 1st of January. And we're trying to hopefully cover all different time zones, taking in New Year and everything else. And so many people have already signed up for net control duties and various other bits. We need loggers as well and everything else. But there are still a few spaces. So if anybody is interested in being a net control operator especially, for that then please do send us an email. And especially if you're available towards the end of it. So that is UTC terms on the 1st of January. And if you're the king of the air for early morning to midday 1st of January UTC time, please let us know. So we're looking for net control operators. Please just email me tonight at golfmic0uniformuniformbravoatgmail.com. That's GM0UUB at gmail.com. Let me know if you're available or interested and we'll get talking to you and see if we can get you into a slot. That would be wonderful. So there we go.

I'm not going to go into detail. It is far, far too long. But a quick summary. Several weeks ago, we signed up for the puppy classes. Of course, our lives are kind of dominated by a puppy Odin. He's nearly six months old. Our fox, red Labrador. He's absolutely gorgeous. He's brilliant. And we signed up for all these puppy training classes. We've been there for several weeks and everything else. But we went down on Wednesday to the breeder where we got puppy Odin from. And the breeder, her husband is an absolutely fantastic dog trainer. He trains all the kind of police dogs and sniffer dogs and this and that. And just general training for dogs, household dogs, everything else. And honestly, what we've learned over the last few weeks, he said, we said, forget it all. I'm going to show you something. And he spent two hours with myself and Helen and of course puppy Odin. And honestly, that was Wednesday evening. And so yesterday and today, we've been implementing everything he's been saying. And honestly, Jeanette, it's quite kind of amazing. Odin is happy. He's so much more relaxed. I'm more relaxed. Greg from walks is more relaxed. Honestly, I can't go into details. I don't have the time. But honestly, Jeanette, it's been transformational. I have to say. So yeah, we still got two weeks of the puppy dog classes. I'm more just paid for, but we're not going back. There we go. That's my big story. Back to you, Jeanette. Ki5SSR.

And oh, I just got a kiss. My husband just got home. So I guess I better pay attention to him now. And he'll help me get things ready. But thank you so much, Graham.

If you have third-party traffic, we'd love to hear from them too, whether they speak with the human tongue or they bark or they meow. We want to hear them. We encourage you to press down on that PTT there on the side of your microphone. And tell us a little bit about yourself, your projects, radio or otherwise, what you're cooking, what great movie you just saw, what great album you just bought. And yeah, my idea of this net is to keep it like a water cooler, like an RF water cooler. We're all hanging around, gossiping.

Let's see, what happened today? Well, not a lot. I worked on scenes trying to get this first book of what my cousin Rob calls the sex toplets done, at least in a rough draft. Having written the scenes all out of order, putting these together is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. And there's one scene missing that I never wrote, I'm going to have to write it. This is the great scene where all the members of this ultra-social, ultra-rich, posh club of women, called the Daughters of Elizabeth, which has a significance in my books that would take too long to explain here. But anyway, all these Daughters of Elizabeth show up and our poor heroine is stuck in a relatively nondescript uniform, which they have condemned her to because she has run away from her inevitable destiny at least twice. And they don't want to actually have her, when she is caught, taken to the wrong place. It's not a criminal thing in any way, it's simply that the average world doesn't know how to treat starship pilots, particularly not new starship pilots. So, she's standing there among all these very richly dressed women, whom she knows in this very nondescript uniform, and feeling completely humiliated. I guess only the gals would understand this, or maybe only those of us of a particular age would understand this. Anyway, that's what I'm working on now. 73, 33, 88.
